Ingredients
For the Sweet Potatoes
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Buffalo Chicken
2 small cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shredded
1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
For the Blue Cheese Yogurt Sauce
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon nonfat milk
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Microwave on HIGH for about 4 minutes per side, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool slightly.
Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl, leaving the skins intact.
Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork until mostly smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix half of the seasoning blend into the mashed sweet potato.
Spoon the seasoned sweet potato mixture evenly back into the reserved potato skins.
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and remaining seasoning mixture. Add the buffalo sauce and toss until evenly coated.
Divide the buffalo chicken mixture among the stuffed sweet potato halves.
To make the yogurt sauce, stir together Greek yogurt, milk, blue cheese, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.
Top each stuffed sweet potato with a dollop of the blue cheese yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken works well as a quick substitute for cooked chicken breasts.
For extra heat, drizzle additional buffalo sauce over the top before serving.
Ranch dressing can be substituted for the blue cheese yogurt sauce if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat before serving and add fresh yogurt sauce afterward.
