Рецепт Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
20 minute meal! These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are topped with a light blue cheese yogurt sauce. An easy weeknight dinner recipe! I have a few friends that are queens of weeknight dinner prep. They wield their knives like pros, putting slow cookers and Instant Pots to use at least a few times per week. And then there is another group of friends who are killing it in other areas of their lives, but just can’t get on top of their weeknight dinner game. And me? I fall smack dab in the middle of the two…meal planning aficionado one week and a hot mess the next. What I hear over and over again from friends and readers, and is clear when you guys pin the heck out of any quick meal idea that I post (thank you!), is that you covet a great, healthy 20-minute meal. I’m right there with you! These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes were inspired by my Turkey Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, one of the most popular recipes on my site. And maybe a little bit of inspiration comes from the fact that it’s 98 degrees today. In Seattle. In September. And I’m ready for jeans and sweater weather, and all-things-squash-and-pumpkin. One of the reasons this recipe comes together so quickly is because it calls for cooked chicken breasts. This is where poaching several chicken breasts on Sunday to use during the week comes in handy. Alternatively, store-bought rotisserie chickens will do the trick. To save time, cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave. Once they’re cool enough to handle, scoop out the potato and mash it with some olive oil and the same spice mix that you’ll toss with the shredded chicken (paprika, garlic powder and salt…that’s it) before scooping back into the sweet potato skins. The shredded chicken is also coated with a Buffalo chicken sauce (I use this one), then piled onto the stuffed sweet potatoes with a healthy dollop of blue cheese yogurt sauce. Serve it up with a side salad or steamed veggies. If you make this recipe, I’d love to see it on Instagram! Just use the hashtag #COOKINCANUCK and I’ll be sure to find it.
