These healthy buffalo chicken sweet potato skins combine spicy buffalo sauce with the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes for a flavorful, lighter party snack that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, washed and halved
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
  • Shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or Mexican blend), about 1 tablespoon per skin (optional)
  • Green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry sweet potatoes, slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out flesh leaving about 1/4 inch thickness of skin intact. Reserve flesh for another use.
  2. Place sweet potato skins cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush each with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes until skins are crisp but not burnt.
  3. While skins bake, shred cooked chicken breast using forks. Toss shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Add salt to taste.
  4. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt with ranch seasoning. Stir well and adjust seasoning as desired.
  5. Remove sweet potato skins from oven. Spoon buffalo chicken filling evenly into each skin. Top each with shredded cheese if using.
  6. Return to oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until cheese melts and filling is warmed through.
  7. Remove from oven, dollop each skin with ranch yogurt, and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispy skins, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to prevent burning. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with plain coconut yogurt and use vegan cheese. Leftover filling works well in salads or wraps. Assemble skins just before baking to avoid sogginess.
