Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (adjust according to your spice tolerance)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (your choice)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: crumbled blue cheese, ripe avocado slices, or additional Buffalo sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for the sweet potatoes.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water, scrubbing them well to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Using a fork, prick each sweet potato multiple times — this allows steam to escape during baking. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

      Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Place the prepared sweet potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

        Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

          Assemble the Stuffed Potatoes: After baking, allow the sweet potatoes to cool for a few minutes. Carefully slice a lengthwise slit down the center of each sweet potato, taking care not to cut all the way through. Gently squeeze the ends to open them up for filling.

            Fill the Potatoes: Spoon the flavorful Buffalo chicken mixture generously into each opened sweet potato. For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle some additional shredded cheddar cheese and a handful of chopped green onions on top of each one.

              Final Bake: Return the loaded sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to heat through and the cheese to melt beautifully.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the stuffed sweet potatoes from the oven. Garnish each one with more chopped green onions, crumbled blue cheese, fresh avocado slices, or a drizzle of extra Buffalo sauce for a spicy kick. Serve warm and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
