Here are the Main Ingredients you will need to Make My Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 425°F (220°C).

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. If you do not have an air fryer, you can use an oven!

While the sweet potato is cooking, prepare the Buffalo dip. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a high-power blender or food processor, blend together the cottage cheese, hot sauce, dry ranch mix, cream cheese, and Laughing Cow wedges until smooth.

In a large bowl, mix the blended sauce with the drained chunk chicken and chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Optionally, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese or reserve it to top the dip.

Transfer the mixture to a sprayed 9×11 baking dish. If not mixed in, top with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden on top.

This will make 8 servings of dip, each being 140g. We will use 4 servings total for the recipe, so you will have 4 extra servings of buffalo dip!

Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise.

You can remove the skin from the sweet potato halves or leave intact, then fluff the inside of the potato with a fork.

Spoon 70g of the Buffalo chicken dip into each sweet potato half, using a total of 140g of dip per sweet potato.

Drizzle 15g of Bolthouse Farms Ranch Dressing over each stuffed sweet potato (7.5g/half).

Garnish with chopped green onions, chives, parsley, or extra buffalo sauce (not included in macros).

Serve hot and enjoy!

Recipe Notes/Modifications:

Chicken Options: I like using Kirkland Canned Chicken Breast to save time, but you can use rotisserie chicken, leftover cooked chicken, or even fresh chicken breast that you cook and shred yourself.
If you want a lower carb option, instead of sweet potatoes, use bell peppers or zucchini boats as the base. Pre-cook them slightly before stuffing and baking. Macros will be different.
This is an EASY meal to make for meal prep- make both the dip and sweet potato ahead of time, and assemble and warm in microwave before enjoying!
I typically buy the Bolthouse Ranch Dressing at Save On, but I believe Superstore and Walmart also carries it!
