Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced into small pieces

1 ripe avocado, mashed until smooth

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a hint of smokiness)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: On a large baking sheet, arrange the cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer for optimal roasting.

      Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes. They should become fork-tender and develop a slight caramelization. Remember to stir them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

        Mix the Filling: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, mashed avocado, lime juice, Greek yogurt (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, and additional seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and creamy.

          Assemble the Bites: Once the sweet potatoes have finished roasting and have slightly cooled, use a small spoon to carefully scoop out a portion from the center of each cube, creating a well for the filling.

            Fill the Sweet Potatoes: Generously spoon the creamy avocado-chicken mixture into each sweet potato well, making sure each bite is ample and flavorful.

              Garnish and Serve: For a burst of freshness, sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve these delightful bites warm, perfect as a tasty appetizer or a light meal.
