Ingredients You’ll Need

• 3 small potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt
• 1 cup shredded, cooked chicken
• 3 tbsp buffalo wing sauce
• ¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2-3 tbsp blue cheese dressing
• 1 green onion, diced

Step By Step Instructions

STEP ONE – Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP TWO – Dice the green onions and set aside.

STEP THREE – Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork. Brush them with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt.

STEP FOUR – Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until fork tender.

STEP FIVE – Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5–10 minutes, or until they’re cool enough to handle. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet. Broil for 2–4 minutes, or until the cut sides are lightly crisp.

STEP SIX – In a small bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.

STEP SEVEN – Turn the potato halves over. Using a small spoon, scoop out some of the flesh, leaving about a ¼-inch border around the edges and bottom.

STEP EIGHT – Fill each potato skin with the buffalo chicken mixture, then top with shredded cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

STEP NINE – Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with the sliced green onions before serving.
