High-Protein Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  • Author: Luciana
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Smoky, spicy, and creamy grilled sweet potatoes stuffed with high-protein buffalo chicken, topped with a cooling Greek yogurt ranch drizzle and blue cheese crumbles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (approx. 2 lbs / 900g)
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 1.5 lbs / 680g)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp (15g) dry ranch seasoning
  • 4 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (30g) blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp (30g) butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash, scrub, and dry sweet potatoes. Poke 4-5 times with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
  2. Set up grill for indirect heat: For charcoal, pile briquettes to one side with a drip pan on the other. For gas, light only one side. Target temperature is 350-375°F (175-190°C).
  3. Place sweet potatoes on the indirect heat zone. Close lid and grill for 45-60 minutes, rotating every 15 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 205°F (96°C) and they are soft.
  4. While potatoes grill, cook chicken (boil, bake, or grill). Shred warm chicken with two forks and toss with buffalo sauce.
  5. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with ranch seasoning. Add a splash of milk or water if needed to thin.
  6. Slice cooked sweet potatoes lengthwise, fluff the inside with a fork, and stuff generously with the buffalo chicken mixture.
  7. Optional: Return stuffed potatoes to indirect heat for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
  8. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions. Drizzle with the yogurt ranch mixture and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure sweet potatoes reach an internal temperature of 205°F for best texture. Use indirect heat to prevent burning. Shred chicken while warm for better sauce absorption. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but check sauce labels. Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 4 days; do not freeze.
