Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil

• 4 cups cooked shredded chicken (from 2 large boneless breasts)
• 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce, plus more for topping
• 1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese, plus more for topping

Instructions

1. If your sweet potatoes aren’t cooked, 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.

Notes
