Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on desired heat level)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup chopped green onions (reserve some for garnish)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water and scrub them clean. Poke multiple holes in each sweet potato using a fork to allow steam to escape. Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are soft when pierced with a fork.

      Make the Chicken Mixture: While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to your taste.

        Incorporate Cheese and Onions: Gradually fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions into the buffalo chicken mixture. Set this aside for the moment.

          Stuff the Sweet Potatoes: After baking, carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, unwrap the foil and make a lengthwise cut in each sweet potato, creating a pocket. Use a fork to gently fluff the potato insides and sprinkle a pinch of salt for extra flavor.

            Fill and Bake Again: Generously spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each sweet potato, letting it heap on top if desired. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the baking sheet and place them back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and the cheese is nicely melted.

              Garnish and Serve: Once fully baked, remove the stuffed sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle with Greek yogurt or sour cream, and top with reserved green onions and fresh cilantro, if using. Serve warm and savor every bite!

                  Presentation Tips: Arrange the stuffed sweet potatoes on a large platter, drizzling each with a little extra buffalo sauce for color and adding a few whole green onions on the side for a fresh touch.
