Loaded Spicy Southwest Chicken Sweet Potatoes

Who would’ve thought that sweet potatoes could be so versatile! As a kid, the only way I ate sweet potatoes was covered in butter, sugar, and cinnamon….and it was usually around the holidays!

Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy sweet potatoes the old-fashioned way but I’ve grown to enjoy them in a much healthier, savory way! These Loaded Spicy Southwest Chicken Sweet Potatoes are a favorite in my house! I absolutely LOVE spicy food but it doesn’t return that same love….

I struggle with occasional heartburn, especially at night. Dinner is usually our biggest meal (and best meal) of the day so if we have something spicy, I will experience occasional heartburn with sleeplessness!

Whenever I make these Loaded Spicy Southwest Chicken Sweet Potatoes I always pay the price later! Sure, I could pull back on the spice and extra jalapenos, but that’s what makes them soooo good! I don’t have the heart to do that lol!

Thankfully, I’ve found a solution to my problems! During my weekly shopping trip to Walmart, I was thrilled to see that Walmart carried a PM Alka-Seltzer® product: Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies ! I was even more thrilled that I was able to save some big bucks off any Alka-Seltzer® product! Click HERE to download your coupon!

The next time I made these Loaded Spicy Southwest Chicken Sweet Potatoes, I was able to fully enjoy every bite without any worries! I keep these Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies by my bed just in case that occasional heartburn with sleeplessness strikes!
