Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce choose your favorite Buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

  • Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

Shred the Chicken:

  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, shred your cooked chicken. If you're using a rotisserie chicken, simply remove the skin and pull the meat apart with forks.

Mash the Sweet Potatoes:

  • Drain the sweet potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Mash them using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Make the Buffalo Sauce Mixture:

  • In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with the hot sauce. Stir until well combined. This will give the casserole that spicy, creamy Buffalo flavor.

Assemble the Casserole:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, layer the mashed sweet potatoes at the bottom. Then, add a layer of shredded chicken on top of the sweet potatoes. Pour the Buffalo sauce mixture over the chicken and spread it evenly. Finally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle sliced green onions over the top for a fresh, vibrant garnish. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Casserole!
