Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper for the meatballs.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped Dill Pickles, Dill Pickle Buffalo Sauce, panko, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Roll into 16–18 meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Toss with an additional spoonful of Dill Pickle Buffalo Sauce while still warm.
4. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to 425°F if needed. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Spread onto a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, and enough water to create a smooth, drizzleable consistency.
7. Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among four bowls. Top with Buffalo Dill Pickle chicken meatballs, roasted corn, avocado, cheddar cheese, green onions, and crispy onions.
8. Drizzle generously with the creamy ranch and additional Dill Pickle Buffalo Sauce. Serve immediately.
