Ingredients
3 small potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
salt
1 cup shredded, cooked chicken
3 tbsp buffalo wing sauce
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2-3 tbsp blue cheese dressing
1 green onion, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dice the green onions and set aside.
- Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork. Brush them with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt.
- Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until fork tender.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with the sliced green onions before serving.
