So I was writing one of my articles and needed a simple recipe for an example. I found this on tasty.co. There are other 5-ingredient recipes there that you might like too.
But this one caught my eye because ... with the sweet potato and no-sugar BBQ sauce ... it's Paleo.
Not only Paleo but incredibly simple. And incredibly scrumptious.
I used Trader Joe's Just Chicken instead of the rotisserie chicken. As I wasn't interested in eating the rest of it.
This is a wonderful dinner entree. And I doubled it and have been using it for equally scrumptious heat-and-eat lunches.
I love the juxtaposition of crunchiness from the red cabbage and softness from the potato and chicken. And anything BBQ has my vote. Eat it up FOR REAL!

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, carve out one of the breasts from the rotisserie chicken (or use about 4 oz of cooked chicken). If the chicken is particularly small, use both breasts. Chop the chicken breast into very small pieces and set aside.
Use a fork to poke holes all over the sweet potato. Transfer the sweet potato to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the sweet potato is tender when pierced with a parking knife or skewer.
Add the cabbage to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the barbecue sauce and saute until the cabbage starts to soften, about 3 minutes.
Add the chopped chicken and stir just to incorporate. Remove the pan from the heat.
Once the sweet potato is cool enough to handle, slice it in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon until a 1/4-inch (6mm) layer remains.
Fill the sweet potato skins with the chicken and cabbage filling, drizzle with barbecue sauce, and top with the sliced green onions. Enjoy!
