  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 1 (19-ounce) package Frozen Sweet Potato Fries
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil

Buffalo Chicken

  • 1/2 lb. Chicken Breast (cubed)
  • 1/3 cup Hot Wing Buffalo Sauce

Toppings

  • 1 cup Cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, or Blue)
  • 2 Green Onions (diced)
  • 1/4 cup Ranch Dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sweet potato fries to a crispy texture.
  2. Arrange Fries: Spread the frozen sweet potato fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even crisping.
  3. Bake Fries: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the fries for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  4. Cook Chicken: While the fries bake, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink inside and is golden on the outside.
  5. Add Buffalo Sauce: Pour the hot wing buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute to blend the flavors.
  6. Assemble Fries: Remove the baked sweet potato fries from the oven and top them with the buffalo chicken mixture evenly.
  7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the cheese of your choice over the buffalo chicken-topped fries.
  8. Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted thoroughly.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Take the loaded fries out of the oven, sprinkle diced green onions on top, drizzle with ranch dressing, and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use any shredded cheese you prefer, such as cheddar for a sharp flavor, mozzarella for mild creaminess, or blue cheese for a tangy kick.
  • For extra crispiness, toss the fries with a little more oil before baking.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
  • This dish can be made gluten-free if the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crisp texture.
