Recipe Ingredients–What You Need

This is a short and sweet ingredient list. Isn’t that what your dinner dreams are made of? Me, too!

4 medium sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are full of prebiotics, which are essential for gut health. They’re also a good source of fiber and vitamins A and C.

1 tablespoon avocado oil

Avocado oil is an oil that isn’t known to be inflammatory, which is one reason I love to use it instead of vegetable oils.

1 small red onion

Red onion is the perfect flavor accompaniment for this Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes recipe. The nutrients it provides, folate, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese and vitamins C, K and B6, are a happy bonus.

4 cups cooked shredded chicken (from 2 large boneless breasts)

Chicken breasts provide a lean protein for this meal.

1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce

This is where that signature flavor comes in. Oh YES!

1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese

I adore bleu cheese and the flavor it brings to this dish. If you don’t love it, you can leave it out and this will be a dairy-free meal.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

1. First, cook the sweet potatoes. (Instant Pot instructions, oven instructions)
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
3. Add the cooked, shredded chicken, hot sauce, and blue cheese and stir to combine. Cook until the chicken is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Slit one of the cooked sweet potatoes length wise and split it open. Spoon 1/4 of the chicken mixture on top of the sweet potato. Repeat with remaining sweet potatoes. Top with extra hot sauce and bleu cheese, if desired.
