Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (for drizzling)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and poke holes in them with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until soft and tender.
- Mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl. Stir in the softened cream cheese and half of the cheddar cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, let them cool slightly and slice each down the center.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each sweet potato and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Drizzle with ranch dressing and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based cream cheese.
- Substitute chicken with shredded jackfruit for a vegetarian version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
