- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
1. Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).

3. Place the prepared sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and let them bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they’re nice and tender.
4. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
5. Mix everything together until the flavors are evenly distributed.
6. Once the sweet potatoes are tender and cooled enough to handle, slice them open lengthwise.
7. Gently mash the insides with a fork, then spoon the chicken and bacon mixture into each sweet potato, packing it in generously.
8. Sprinkle that shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each stuffed sweet potato.
9. Pop the loaded sweet potatoes back into the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11. Serve these bad boys warm.
Notes
These sweet potato bombs can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. You can customize the filling by using ground turkey instead of chicken or adding different vegetables.
