Sweet potato buffalo chicken cheesy fries!



Recommended Posts

From the title, it sounds like the most unhealthy thing ever, but it is NOT! It is the equivalent of baking sweet potatoes along with poached chicken topped with a little cheese LOL.

I bake sweet potato fries in the oven till they are crispy, I get the crinkle kind from McCain. The serving size is 3 oz (160 calories) but that's enough for two meals (if not more).

I then cook some poached and shredded chicken (no more than 2 oz) along with a few tablespoons of Buffalo wing sauce till it's nice and coated.

In a nice individual serving baking plate, I layer as follows:

1- The crispy sweet potato fries.

2- Finely shredded sharp cheddar.

3- The chicken with its sauce.

4- Mozzarella cheese and sharp cheddar.

I broil it till the cheese melts and it's ooey gooey and golden, then drizzle with a little bit of homemade greek yogurt ranch dressing. This would be amazing with bleu cheese crumbles too.

IT IS SO GOOD!

Just curious...you're allowed to have this already? I had my surgery one day before you and I'm still only allowed Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes (all soft foods). I'm getting sick of the same few things pretty quickly.

Yep, my surgeon cleared me to eat normal foods that aren't hard or raw (this is pretty soft btw, the chicken is moist from the sauce and is very easy to chew), and anything I can chew down to a paste before swallowing. That means no raw fruits, no raw veggies, greens, nuts, etc :) I am doing very well and he said that as long as I don't get sick or some form of indigestion it's fine.

In case you are curious, I had 3 days of clear liquid, a week of full liquid, 2 weeks of blended foods, and now I am on normal foods that are on the soft side, but that includes stuff like crackers that can easily melt when hydrated.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
