Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes (36g Protein, Under $10 for Two)
Sweet potatoes stuffed with shredded buffalo chicken and a cool yogurt drizzle — a budget dinner for two with 36g of protein per serving, ready in 45 minutes for under $10 total. This is my answer to wanting wings without ordering wings. The sweet potato soaks up the buffalo sauce, the yogurt drizzle cools it down, and it somehow still counts as a real dinner.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the rack for 45-50 minutes, until tender.
- Meanwhile, poach the chicken breasts in a pot of simmering water for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and toss with the buffalo sauce.
- Mix the Greek yogurt with ranch seasoning to make the drizzle.
- Slice open the baked sweet potatoes and fluff the inside with a fork.
- Pile the buffalo chicken into each sweet potato, drizzle with the yogurt ranch, and top with green onion.
Notes
Poach the chicken in water instead of buying a rotisserie chicken — it costs a fraction as much and shreds just as easily once cooled.
