Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potato
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 pound Chicken, ground, raw
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cup cheese, cheddar or colby, lowfat
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake potatoes until soft enough for a toothpick to stick all the way in.  I baked mine for about an hour.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, drizzle a little olive oil and add chopped onion.  Let cook for 5 minutes and then add ground chicken and garlic.  (I used chicken sausage.)
  • Cook until browned and remove from heat. Stir in salsa.
  • Roughly chop spinach and then add to skillet and stir in.  The residual heat from the meat and onions will cook it down.
  • When potatoes are cooked, remove and let cook for a few minutes until cook enough to handle.  Cut lengthwise and hollow out using a spoon.  Add the parts of the potatoes that your remove from the skins to the skillet.  Stir into meat mixture and salt and pepper as needed.
  • Fill potato skins with meat/potato mixture and top with a little cheese.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heather through and cheese has melted.
  • Top with cilantro, sour cream, bacon bits or whatever your family likes!
