Curried Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Serves 4
Tender chicken breast simmered in a curry sauce are perfect stuffed into baked sweet potatoes. It’s a delicious combination of sweet, spicy, and savory, and makes an easy weeknight meal. If you don’t want to take the time to bake the sweet potatoes in the oven, you can just pop them in the microwave, where they’ll take a fraction of the time to cook.
