I don’t know. I felt like I wanted some buffalo chicken potato skins.

Easy to make shredded buffalo chicken that’s stuffed into potato skins and topped off with cheddar and blue cheese. Can’t go wrong there. This is a super simple and versatile dish that could be anything from an appetizer to part of a meal. I should say too that I used the BIGGEST russet potatoes for this that I could find. We’re talking HUGE. So if you are using smaller potatoes, this will give you a lot more skins than what it did me.

These Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins end up being gluten free all on their own! I served mine as a meal paired with a light side salad and some celery and carrots to round it all out. Then end result was a pretty amazing buffalo chicken inspired dinner that was filling and guilt free!

Ingredients

2 Extra Large Russet Potatoes
2 C. Shredded Cooked Chicken Breast
1/2 C. Buffalo sauce
1/4 C. Shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/4 C. Blue Cheese Crumbles
1/4 C. Blue Cheese Dressing
2 Green Onions, Diced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, wrap in foil.
Bake for about an hour to an hour and a half.
Once done, allow the potatoes to cool before cutting in half and scooping out the middle to create a 1/4" shell for the potato skin.
Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. and place the potato skins on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5-10 minutes on each side.
While the skins are toasting, mix the 2 C. chicken with the 1/2 C. buffalo sauce.
Once the skins are done, remove from the oven and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the chicken evenly among the potato skins and top each with about 2 Tbsp. cheddar and 2 Tbsp. blue cheese.
Place back in the oven for a few minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with the green onions and a drizzle of blue cheese dressing.
Enjoy warm right away!
