Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken and buffalo sauce, stirring until evenly coated.
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, carefully slice them open lengthwise and use a fork to fluff the insides.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each potato and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the stuffed potatoes under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the top, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cheese and ranch dressing. Adjust the spice level by mixing buffalo sauce with ranch. Avoid overfilling the potatoes to prevent messes.
