Eating healthy can sometimes be hard due to busy schedules and lack of time to get in the kitchen to cook. This Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato recipe is great for people who need a healthy lunch or dinner option that is easy and quick. This meal will take no longer than 20 minutes to throw together and will easily become a family favorite. It’s so yummy, sometimes I just eat it for breakfast!
I love cooking my sweet potatoes on low in a crockpot so they are ready to go when I get home. Clean your potatoes and pierce with a fork, wrap in aluminum foil and add to your crockpot on low for 4-5 hours. You can do the chicken the same way, mixed with your compliant buffalo sauce. I am not a big fan of crockpot chicken so for my family, I will either buy a complaint rotisserie chicken, chop and toss with buffalo sauce or simply throw a couple of chicken breasts in a skillet and it will be ready in no time at all.
Don’t forget to slap some compliant ranch on top of these sweet babies. Homemade mayo and ranch are life at my house, so I don’t use a lot of store bought versions. Feel free to use what you can find if you are in a crunch. If you have to use Tessemae’s or Primal Kitchen’s Ranch, those will work just fine. Feel free to click here to grab my homemade version from a precious blog post. Also, don’t be scared to recreate these stuffed potatoes. If you are not of fan of spicy, then try adding new ingredients to make it fit your needs, the possibilities are endless. Now, get your booties in the kitchen and get these babies on the kitchen table in time for dinner tonight.

I made this tonight and my husband asked me to add this to our menu rotation. Our girls loved it too. Thanks!
I am so glad you enjoyed! It is one of my favorite and easy recipes!
Made this on Day one of my Whole30 and it didn’t disappoint! Thanks for the great recipe!
Omg, this recipe was out of this world! For some reason, both my daughter and husband were skeptical about the meal! My daughter didn’t think the chicken and sauce would be good on a potato (regular white potato for her because she hates squashes and sweet potatoes) and my husband turned his nose up at the ranch dressing because he is not a fan of that nasty bottled version. But, of course, once they both dug in, they gobbled it up and said I definitely need to make it again! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
