Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized sweet potatoes

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup buffalo sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for topping)

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Optional: fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking for the sweet potatoes.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to clean them thoroughly. Use a fork to prick the potatoes several times; this allows steam to escape during baking. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and arrange them on a baking sheet for easy handling. Bake for 45-60 minutes. They're done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

      Cook the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes bake, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

        Shred the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce, stirring well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.

          Prepare the Potatoes: After removing the sweet potatoes from the oven, allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Unwrap the foil carefully to avoid steam burns, and using a sharp knife, slice each potato lengthwise down the middle to create a pocket. Use a fork to gently fluff the insides, creating a nice, airy space for the filling.

            Stuff the Potatoes: Generously spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the pocket of each sweet potato, ensuring they are filled nicely. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese, which will melt beautifully during the next step.

              Melt the Cheese: Place the stuffed sweet potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a delicious topping.

                Serve: Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a moment. Top each stuffed potato with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for a creamy contrast, followed by a sprinkle of chopped green onions. If desired, add fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

                  Enjoy: Serve the stuffed sweet potatoes hot, relishing the combination of spicy buffalo chicken and the natural sweetness of the potatoes!
