These twice-baked sweet potatoes are loaded with the makings of a full chicken dinner. If you want to spice up your weeknight dinner or have some rotisserie chicken you need to use up, then turn to these stuffed sweet potatoes. Not only stuffed with BBQ chicken, these twice-baked potatoes get their own loaded treatment with red onion, jalapeño, and melted smoked Gouda (or whatever cheese you're craving). They're filling, so easy to prepare, and incredibly satisfying. Make them once, then switch them up with your favorite fillings and toppings (taco-stuffed sweet potatoes, anyone?).
