Potato Skins with Buffalo Chicken are a delicious, hearty dinner! Crispy potato skins are loaded with creamy buffalo chicken and topped with melty cheese!
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour 12 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 russet potatoes
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Place the clean, whole potatoes in a wire rack lined baking sheet. Bake the potatoes 30 minutes, flip and bake an additional 20 minutes or until the potato is fork tender.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle. Slice the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the inside of the potatoes leaving 1/4 inch potato around the skin.
  • Brush the interior and exterior of the potato skins lightly with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the potato skins back in the oven and bake for 7 minutes, flip and bake an additional 7 minutes. This helps the potato skins get ultra crispy. Remove from the oven.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch, buffalo sauce, green onions and half the cheese.
  • Place about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in each potato skin. Top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Notes

Use the discarded part of the potatoes to make mashed potatoes or potato fritters.
