Sweet Potato Chicken Poppers


Recipe From: Laura

Oh the heavenly smell & flavors of this sweet comfort food!  These Chicken Poppers are so delish that the kids gobbled em right up!  We absolutely loved them dipped in a mixture of BBQ sauce/sour cream. Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, vitamins,and minerals. Makes for a fabulous appetizer as well. 


  • 1 lb ground chicken (uncooked)
  • 2 cups uncooked sweet potato, finely grated (you can use your food processor)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil + 1 tsp for greasing the baking sheet
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour 
  • 4-5 single stalks green onion, chopped fine
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • Optional : 1 tsp paprika or chili powder, adds a kick!

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and lightly grease a lined baking sheet with coconut oil.  Take the raw sweet potato and squeeze it with a paper towel or cheese cloth to remove any excess liquid.  Then, combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and thoroughly combine.  Begin rolling the mixture into small, slightly flattened poppers about one inch in diameter (you’ll have about 20-25 poppers) and place them on the cooking sheet .
  • Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping half way through. Take out of oven, sprinkle tops with cheese, then put back in oven on broil for 1 min. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite sauce! Guacamole, ketchup, mustard, ranch, etc.  **I loved these babies served with a mixture of BBQ sauce/sour cream. 😋
