Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 2 cups Shredded Chicken
- 3 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Buffalo Sauce
- 2 tbsp Ranch Dressing
- 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes evenly.
- Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and poke holes all over their surfaces with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Season sweet potatoes: Drizzle olive oil over each sweet potato and sprinkle salt over the skins to season.
- Bake sweet potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Mix buffalo chicken filling: While the sweet potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing in a mixing bowl; stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Cool sweet potatoes: Once baked, allow the sweet potatoes to cool for a few minutes so they can be handled safely.
- Slice and fluff: Cut a slit down the center of each sweet potato and gently push the sides inward. Use a fork to fluff the inside flesh, making space for the filling.
- Stuff sweet potatoes: Spoon half of the buffalo chicken mixture on top of each sweet potato evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top of the stuffed potatoes for a fresh finish and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut for shredded chicken.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the cream cheese and ranch dressing with appropriate alternatives.
- The stuffed sweet potatoes can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To add extra flavor, consider topping with shredded cheese or a drizzle of extra ranch dressing.
