Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 0.25 cup cream cheese, softened
- 0.33 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- ranch dressing (optional, for garnish)
- extra Buffalo wing sauce (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub them with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 1 hour, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the chicken breasts. Season them lightly with salt and pepper, and cook them in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.
In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with Buffalo wing sauce until well coated. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are done baking, let them cool for about 10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato attached to the skin to create a sturdy shell.
Mash the scooped-out potato flesh with butter, garlic powder, cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup). Mix until smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Gently fold in the Buffalo chicken mixture and half of the chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.
Spoon the filling back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Top each potato with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup). Return the potatoes to the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions. Drizzle with additional Buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes!
