Directions

Prep 10 minCook 35 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub and pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until tender when pierced, about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, scallions, and salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the spinach just until wilted, then transfer everything to a mixing bowl to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Add the canned chicken, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until evenly combined and adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    When the sweet potatoes are tender, carefully halve them lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4–1/2 inch of potato in the skins. Mash the flesh into the filling and switch the oven to high broil.

  6. 6

    Arrange the potato skins on a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each with a heaping spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture and top with shredded cheddar. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 2–3 minutes. Serve hot.
