Recipe by Alia & Radwa Elkaffas – Sweet Potato Bowls
These loaded sweet potatoes are a hearty, flavor-packed twist on a classic comfort dish. Tender roasted sweet potatoes are stuffed with chicken, kalamata olives, chickpeas, and a generous scoop of the Fresh Express® Twisted Caesar Pesto Caesar Chopped Salad Kit for a bold, creamy crunch. It is a satisfying, all-in-one meal.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Fresh Express® Twisted Caesar Pesto Caesar Chopped Salad Kit
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 lb cooked chicken breast, chopped (or rotisserie chicken)
- 1 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan and poke several holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender (larger sweet potatoes may take longer).
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Fresh Express® Twisted Caesar Pesto Caesar Chopped Salad Kit according to package directions. Toss well to combine.
- To assemble, place one sweet potato on a plate and slice it lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently press the inside with a fork to create a well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with chopped chicken, olives, chickpeas, and a generous amount of the Fresh Express® Twisted Caesar Pesto Caesar Chopped Salad Kit.
- Serve immediately.
