Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until very soft and easily pierced with a knife.
  2. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling: While the sweet potatoes roast, combine the cooked shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl. Add cream cheese or Greek yogurt, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well blended.
  3. Scoop and Mix: When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each lengthwise in half. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell. Mix the sweet potato flesh with the buffalo chicken filling until fully combined.
  4. Stuff and Top: Evenly fill the sweet potato skins with the buffalo chicken mixture. Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed half.
  5. Bake Again: Return the filled sweet potatoes to the oven set at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Notes

  • Choose evenly sized sweet potatoes to ensure consistent cooking.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken like rotisserie for faster prep and added flavor.
  • Do not overfill the skins to prevent bursting during the second bake.
  • Taste and adjust buffalo sauce heat before stuffing for perfect spice balance.
  • For extra crispy cheese topping, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
