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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
