Cumin Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Problems with searching through the internet late at night looking at so much food…

You instantly start craving things you didn’t even know existed!
You wake up in the morning and are too tired to make anything, so you just make salad… again.
It’s okay though, cause you save it to a pin board and eat it later!

Okay, that may have happened this week, but today I didn’t want to make another salad.

I am pretty much eternally in love with sweet potatoes in any form! I love them crispy, love them as curly fries (which I will have to post the recipe soon!), I love them caramely with the juices bubbling all over the place, and I also love them baked, cut in half, and stuffed with colorful veggies and cumin seasoned chicken!

This recipe is the best! I prepared a batch of these last night and then threw everything in a 8″ by 8″ and put it in the fridge. When I woke up and had to go to an unexpected appointment, boom! My meals were already made! Yay! I love it when that happens, which isn’t very often:) All that to say, you can easily prep this meal the night before and have lifesaver when you unexpectedly run out of time to cook… or really just don’t feel like cooking.
