Make sure to wash your sweet potatoes and scrub off any dirt. Take a fork and poke holes all over them. Place on a baking pan lined with foil. Don't forget to pre heat your oven to 350 degrees.

In the picture I placed the potatoes on my baking sheet with the skins up. DON'T DO THAT because the potato flesh caramelizes and makes them hard to remove.

Once the chicken has cooled, add 1 cup of shredded cheddar, a handful of roughly chopped cilantro, and the rest of the lime sauce to the chicken.  Mix well.

Using your hand, fill each potato half with a generous portion of the chicken mixture, then top each one with the last cup of cheddar.  You could use pepper jack instead, or any cheese you prefer.

Place the filled skins back in the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, at 400-450 degrees. Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately. However, these little treats are great cold too! Enjoy...
