  • Prep: 10 mins

  • Cook: 12 mins

  • Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 300 g cooked or BBQ chicken breast, sliced or shredded
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • to taste pepper

Variations

Boost the flavours by adding some chargrilled roast veggies (drained artichokes, olives, sundried tomatoes, roasted pepper strips).

To add a little heat, top with dried chilli flakes or chopped red chilli. 

For a Mexican-style falvour replace basil with fresh coriander leaves and sprinkle yoghurt with ground cumin or paprika.

Method

  1. Scrub skins and cut any blemishes off sweet potatoes.  Use a fork to prick sweet potatoes at least a dozen times each.   
  2. Place sweet potatoes onto a plate under a microwave-safe cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, turn over and cook a further 5 minutes until softened and cooked in the centre. Be careful when turning over the sweet potato - steam will burn!   
  3. Carefully cut potatoes in half lengthways and place each on a serving plate open-faced.  Sprinkle halves with cheese then layer on chicken and tomatoes. Microwave for another 2 minutes if desired.
  4. Top with torn basil leaves and black pepper and serve.
