Ingredients
-
4 medium sweet potatoes (thoroughly washed) -
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (all visible fat discarded) -
2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper -
Cooking spray -
1/2 medium white or yellow onion (diced) -
3/4 cup frozen corn (thawed, drained) -
15 ounces canned, low-sodium black beans -
juice of 1 lime -
1 tsp no-calorie sweetener, granulated, 1 packet -
1 teaspoon cumin -
1 teaspoon chili powder -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano -
2 tablespoon water -
2 tablespoon reduced-fat pepper jack cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400. -
Pierce each sweet potato all around with a fork. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour until potatoes pierce easily with a fork. -
While potatoes are baking, rub chicken breasts with olive oil and place in a baking dish, sprinkle with pepper. Bake in the same oven as the potatoes in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the oven and let cool. Once cooled, shred chicken gently with a fork and set aside. -
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Over medium heat, sauté onion 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in corn and beans stirring occasionally until heated through, approximately 3-5 minutes. Gently add chicken, lime juice, no-calorie sweetener, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and water. Stir until well blended and cook until mixture is warmed through. -
Carefully remove potatoes from oven and slice open lengthwise (be careful of steam!). Add ¼ of bean and chicken mixture to each potato and top with cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted.
Tip: Serving Size 1 potato, 3/4 cup bean/chicken mixture.
