A quick and easy recipe featuring roasted sweet potatoes stuffed with creamy, spicy buffalo chicken filling, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (6–8 ounces each)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 300 grams)
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (120 ml)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (120 grams)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 grams)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: blue cheese crumbles, chopped cilantro, ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Scrub each sweet potato clean, pat dry, and pierce the skin a few times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 40–50 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and skins are slightly crisp.
  3. While potatoes roast, shred the cooked chicken using two forks and place in a medium bowl.
  4. Add buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the shredded chicken. Stir until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. When potatoes are done, let cool slightly. Slice each in half lengthwise and gently scoop out some flesh, leaving a sturdy edge to hold the filling. Reserve the scooped potato in a bowl.
  6. Combine the scooped potato with the buffalo chicken mixture and fold together for extra creaminess.
  7. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, piling it high. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Return to the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings like blue cheese crumbles or a drizzle of ranch dressing. Serve hot.

Notes

Roast sweet potatoes at high heat for tender insides and crisp skins. Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Adjust buffalo sauce heat to taste. Watch cheese when baking second time to avoid burning; tent with foil if needed. Leftovers store well in fridge for up to 3 days and reheat best in oven.
