Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for creaminess)
- ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Optional toppings: crumbled blue cheese, chopped celery, fresh parsley
Instructions
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
▪ Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
▪ Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce them several times with a fork.
▪ Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
2. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken:
▪ In a medium bowl, mix shredded rotisserie chicken with buffalo sauce. For a creamier filling, stir in Greek yogurt or sour cream.
3. Stuff the Sweet Potatoes:
▪ Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, let them cool slightly. Slice them lengthwise down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently fluff the flesh with a fork.
▪ Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each sweet potato.
4. Add Toppings and Serve:
▪ Drizzle the stuffed sweet potatoes with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
▪ Garnish with sliced green onions and any optional toppings like crumbled blue cheese, chopped celery, or fresh parsley.
▪ Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a milder flavor, mix the buffalo sauce with a bit of honey or extra Greek yogurt.
- To save time, microwave the sweet potatoes for 8-10 minutes instead of roasting.
- Pair with a side salad or steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
