Buffalo Chicken Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups Buffalo hot sauce (such as Texas Pete®)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit, or one seventy-five degrees Celsius.
2
Pierce several potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3
Allow the potatoes to cook in the preheated oven for a period of time ranging from one and a half to two hours, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
4
Check on the potatoes after one hour and then every fifteen minutes thereafter, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5
While the potatoes are cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6
Add chicken to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, approximately five minutes.
7
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then scoop out the flesh and place it in a large bowl.
8
Set the potato skins aside, then stir in melted butter until combined with the potato flesh. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
9
Stir in cooked chicken, two cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, and Buffalo sauce until the mixture is fully incorporated.
10
Spoon the potato filling back into the empty skins, then sprinkle with an additional one cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.
11
Place the stuffed potato skins in the preheated oven and allow them to cook until the filling is hot and the cheese is melted, approximately twenty minutes.
