Print Recipe

Creamy sweet potatoes loaded with spicy buffalo chicken, melted cheese, and cool ranch dressing. This 30-minute weeknight dinner is quick, easy, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • 2–3 green onions, sliced
  • Optional toppings: crumbled bacon, diced celery, extra ranch or blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Cook the sweet potatoes: Wash and dry 4 medium sweet potatoes. Pierce each one several times with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Prepare the buffalo chicken: While potatoes cook, shred 2 cups cooked chicken into a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup buffalo sauce and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Pour over chicken and toss until coated.
  3. Split the potatoes: Once cool enough to handle, cut a slit lengthwise down the center of each potato without cutting all the way through. Gently squeeze ends to open. Fluff insides with a fork.
  4. Stuff the potatoes: Divide buffalo chicken evenly among potatoes. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons shredded cheese.
  5. Optional broil step: Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and broil on high for 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Watch closely.
  6. Add toppings: Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and any other desired toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overcook sweet potatoes; they should be tender but hold their shape. Shred your own cheese for better melting. Warm buffalo sauce before mixing for better coating. Taste and adjust spice level. Rotisserie chicken is ideal for moisture and flavor. For a crowd, prep components ahead and assemble just before serving.
