Spicy Chicken Stuffed Yams

      Have I mentioned my love of all things potatoes? It ranks right up there with cheese and Syrah wine. I just like how they can be sweet or savory and they're cheap and filling. I haven't tried a recipe that I haven't liked yet and this one is not an exception, it was all things sweet, spicy, savory and just plain delicious. A lot of people raise their eyebrows when I make sweet potatoes or yams the main part of a dish, like my Yam (or Sweet Potato) and Black Bean Enchiladas, but I say tssk tssk where is your sense of adventure!

Ingredients:

• 3 medium yams
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1/4 cups olive oil
• 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
• 1 table spoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• salt and pepper
• 2 frozen cups spinach
• 5 ounces mozzarella
• sour cream for topping

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees
2. Wash potatoes and cook. (I usually cook them in the microwave, 20 minutes is better than 60)
3. Put chicken in a baking pan, with a little olive oil salt and pepper and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
4. When sweet potatoes are done cut them in half and take out most of the middle, place in bowl and set off to the side.
5. When chicken is done, place on cutting board and shred with two forks.
6. In a medium sized bowl combine the olive oil, lime, garlic, oregano, pepper flakes, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. 
7. In a small fry pan defrost and cook spinach, when cooked, combine with shredded chicken in a bowl. Keep warm.
8. Heat oven up to 400 degrees. Take your sauce mixture and drizzle some on the potato skins, and bake for 5 minutes.
9. When done stuff with chicken and spinach, drizzle with remaining sauce and top with mozzarella cheese.
10. Bake for about 10 minutes until cheese is melty.
11. SERVE!
