This dish is not just a quick solution for a hectic day; it’s also a crowd-pleaser that will impress your loved ones.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package frozen sweet potato fries (19 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/2 pound chicken breast (or 2 breasts, diced)
- 1/3 cup buffalo hot wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese (choose from cheddar, mozzarella, or blue)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy.
- While the fries are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add some oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add cubed chicken breast to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken until no longer pink and golden brown, which should take about 7-8 minutes.
- Pour your preferred buffalo sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional minute to coat the chicken evenly.
- Once the sweet potato fries are done baking, carefully remove them from the oven.
- Top the fries with the prepared buffalo chicken.
- Sprinkle your choice of cheese over the top to add a melty, flavorful layer to the dish.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven and finish by topping your dish with freshly chopped green onions.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over everything to add a creamy cooling contrast to the spicy buffalo flavor.
- Serve the buffalo chicken sweet potato fries immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Keep an eye on the cheese while melting to prevent overcooking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice preference.
- For a healthier option, use low-fat cheese and ranch dressing.
