Cranberry (or Cherry) Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

These bad boys were DELICIOUS.

Cranberry Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
What you need:
4 sweet potatoes, previously baked
2 chicken breasts, diced
4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
3⁄4 cups fresh cranberries (we used cherries, we couldn't find cranberries (without sweetner) anywhere--I think the cherries were good!)
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Cooking fat

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

What you do:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
This recipe calls for pre-baked sweet potatoes; you could do this any way that works for you:
Put the potatoes in the oven 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the size of your potatoes) before you plan to start cooking the chicken; by the time you’re ready to stuff them, they should be done.
Melt some cooking fat in skillet placed over a medium-high heat (we used coconut oil).
Cook the diced chicken until just cooked through.
Add the cranberries (or cherries) to the chicken and cook until soft.
Add the spinach and nutmeg.
Sauté until the spinach has wilted and remove the pan from the heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked to your liking, take them out of the oven and slice them open and divide the filling equally among them.
Season each sweet potato to taste and bake just until everything is warm (about 10 minutes).

This was so good and since it made 4, we have them for lunch tomorrow as well!
I will definitely be requesting this one again!

This recipe originally comes from here.
