These buffalo chicken stuffed sweet potatoes are an easy, healthy dinner made with slow cooker shredded chicken and tender sweet potatoes. Packed with bold flavor, protein, and fiber, they’re perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in the slower cooker. Top with buffalo sauce, salt, and garlic powder. Cook on low for 4.5 hours.
About 30 minutes before the chicken is done, wash sweet potatoes and poke holes in them to vent. Microwave for 5 minutes. Flip potatoes and microwave for additional 5 minutes.
Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake microwaved potatoes at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes until they can easily be pierced with a fork.
Once the chicken is done, shred finely with a fork.
Slice sweet potatoes in half. Fork the potatoes to loosen up the insides. Top with shredded chicken, drizzle with ranch dressing, and top with green onions.
