Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
2. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add oil, onions, carrots, garlic, scallions, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat, let cool, and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
3. To the bowl, add shredded chicken, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning as desired.
4. Once the sweet potatoes are soft, carefully cut them in half and scoop out the flesh, reserving it for another use. Leave about 1/4" to 1/2" of skin intact. Set the oven to a high broil.
5. Place the empty potato skins on a rimmed baking sheet and fill with a heaping spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture. Top with cheddar cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
