Items You'll Need

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blaze Pizza Oven to 400°F. Wash the sweet potatoes and poke a few holes in the tops of each. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for an hour, or until tender to the touch. Be sure to use protective gloves.
  2. Warm up the shredded chicken in a saucepan with buffalo sauce, just until it is warm. Use more sauce if needed.

  3. Slice open the sweet potatoes and mash down the flesh with a fork. Sprinkle an even amount of mozzarella cheese, buffalo chicken, and blue cheese crumbles into each potato.
  4. Place the filled sweet potatoes back into the oven for about 5–8 minutes, or until the blue cheese has started to melt.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for several minutes. Serve with blue cheese dressing and diced green onions. Feel free to add more buffalo sauce as desired.
