Mexican Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes


This was another true favorite on Whole30.  The chicken had a delicious flavor, but what really sealed the deal was this avocado jalapeno sauce....amazing.  I could have put it on all of the things!  I served over diced and roasted sweet potatoes and the kids ate it rolled up in a tortilla.
