- One 24 ounce bag bag H-E-B Southern-Style Breaded Chicken Strips
- 4 Sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Tablespoons thinly sliced Green Onions
- ¼ cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds
- Hot honey for drizzling
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare the H-E-B Southern-Style Breaded Chicken Strips according to package instructions.
While the chicken is cooking, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on high until tender, cooking in 3 to 4 minute intervals, 8 to 10 minutes, or until fork tender.
Let cool slightly, then slice the potatoes in half lengthwise.
Once the chicken is cooked, cut the chicken tenders into bite size pieces.
Top the sweet potato halves with butter and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Divide the chicken, green onions and roasted pumpkin seeds between the sweet potato halves.
Transfer to plates and drizzle with the hot honey and serve!
