Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/3 cup green onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup ranch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, brush them with 1 tbsp of olive oil, and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until fork-tender. (Larger sweet potatoes may need a few extra minutes.)
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and shred it using two forks, a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the buffalo sauce and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Fluff the inside with a fork, then fill each potato with the buffalo chicken.
- Top with your choice of ranch and some sliced green onions, enjoy!
