These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are the perfect sweet and spicy comfort food!
Yield: 6stuffed potatoes
Ingredients
66 ounce each raw sweet potatoes, (total of 36 ounces)
1tablespooncanola oil
1lbraw boneless skinless chicken breasts
1cupBuffalo Wing sauce, I used Frank’s Red Hot brand
1 ½cupsdry coleslaw cabbage mix
4tablespoonslight blue cheese dressing, such as Marzetti light
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place it on the lower rack of your oven (to catch any leaks from the potatoes while baking). Stab each sweet potato with a fork 2-3 times to make some holes. Place the potatoes directly onto the oven rack in the center of the oven (the rack with the baking sheet should be underneath). Set the oven to 400 and allow to come to temperature with the potatoes in the oven. Once the oven is heated to 400, continue to bake the potatoes for an hour.
About 20-30 minutes before the potatoes are done, bring the oil to medium-high heat in a saute pan. Add the chicken breasts in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes on one side, flip them over and continue to cook 3 more minutes on the other side. Add the buffalo sauce to the pan and wait until it bubbles (should happen almost immediately). Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts) until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Remove the lid from the pan and transfer each chicken breast to a cutting board to shred with two forks. Return each shredded breast to the sauce and stir to combine. Continue to cook on low for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and soaks into the shredded chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and blue cheese dressing until well coated.
When the sweet potatoes are done, remove from the oven. To serve, slice open a sweet potato and fill with about ½ cup of shredded buffalo chicken. Top with ¼ cup of blue cheese coleslaw and serve.
