Ingredients

For 1 serving

Sweet Potato Bowl

• 1 whole sweet potato
• 1 chicken thigh filet
• 2 tbsp crushed pistachios
• 2 tbsp hot honey
• Salt, to taste
• Avocado oil, for coating the sweet potato

Chicken Seasoning

• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Paprika, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste

Cinnamon Greek Yogurt Sauce

• 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp hot honey
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Greek Yogurt Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, cinnamon, hot honey, and crushed red pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined. Set aside while you prepare the sweet potato and chicken.

2. Air Fry the Sweet Potato

Wash and dry the sweet potato, then poke holes all over it with a fork. Coat the sweet potato with a little avocado oil and season with salt.

Place the sweet potato in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the sweet potato is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

3. Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken thigh filet with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Place the chicken in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken.

Once cooked, let the chicken rest briefly, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.

4. Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potato Bowl

Once the sweet potato is tender, carefully cut it open and mash the inside with a fork until smooth and fluffy.

Layer the ingredients directly into the sweet potato:

1. Spread the cinnamon Greek yogurt sauce over the mashed sweet potato.
2. Add the sliced chicken on top.
3. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios for a crunchy texture.
4. Drizzle with hot honey to finish.

5. Serve

Serve immediately while the sweet potato and chicken are warm. Enjoy the creamy yogurt sauce, savory chicken, crunchy pistachios, and sweet heat from the hot honey in every bite.
