A simple and high-protein baked potato dinner featuring saucy buffalo chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or slow cooker chicken works well)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the buffalo chicken filling. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and 1/4 cup of ranch dressing. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully slice them open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Fluff the inside with a fork.
  6. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each potato.
  7. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled blue cheese (if using).
  8. Return the potatoes to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and an extra drizzle of ranch dressing before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prep, bake the potatoes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat them before stuffing.
  • You can adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to your spice preference.
  • Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable for game day gatherings.
