Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes
1 chicken breast, cooked & chopped
1/2 C reduced sodium black beans, rinsed & drained
1/4 C Franks hot sauce
1/2 C Mexican cheese, shredded
1 TBSP. butter
Optional garnishes: Bolthouse Farms Ranch dressing, green onions
Directions:
Microwave sweet potatoes on “potato” setting or until they are fork tender in the middle (I suppose you can bake them, but I’m all about those shortcuts in the kitchen!)
In a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in Franks hot sauce. Stir in chopped chicken.
Once sweet potatoes have slightly cooled, slice each potato in half vertically, but not all the way through and push the two ends together to “open” the potato.
Stuff with buffalo chicken and remaining toppings and enjoy!

Cooking Tips:
To cut down on prep and cooking time for this recipe, you can use pre-sliced grilled chicken strips
While microwaving potatoes is my preferred method of cooking them, simply for ease and convenience, you definitely don't have to cook them this way. You can also wrap potatoes in foil and grill them over a BBQ, bake them in the oven or cook them in an air-frier to soften.
