Sweet Potatoes:
- 4 medium cooked sweet potatoes*
Buffalo Chicken Mixture:
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped*
- 1 large carrot, grated or finely chopped
- 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, (I used Primal Kitchen)
- 1/4 cup water
Garnish:
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrot, and celery until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the ground chicken, breaking into crumbles and continuing to sauté until cooked through. This took about 7 minutes for me.
- Stir in the salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the buffalo sauce and water then simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
- Taste the chicken mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cut a slit in the top of each sweet potato and press the sides to make a pocket in the top. Divide the buffalo chicken mixture between the potatoes then drizzle with the dressing of your choice and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
Notes
- *To cook sweet potatoes: Pierce with a fork, bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
- *Feel free to substitute with ground turkey or beef for the chicken.
