Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken - shredded
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- ¾ cup buffalo sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup colby jack cheese
- Green onions for garnish
Optional Toppings:
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Poke a few holes in each potato with a fork, then rub them with olive oil. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender. Check by inserting a knife into the center of a potato.
- While the potatoes bake, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, salt, pepper, and yogurt in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are done, carefully slice them about ¾ of the way down the center. Mash the insides lightly with a fork.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each potato. Top with shredded colby jack cheese.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the chicken is heated through.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions. Drizzle with ranch dressing, if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
