Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (using rotisserie chicken is ideal)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on your heat preference)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus additional for topping

1/4 cup sour cream

2 green onions, finely sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for drizzling

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare and Bake the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water, then pat them dry. Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape during baking. Drizzle olive oil over the skins and rub it in, followed by a sprinkle of salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork.

      Create the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the sliced green onions, mixing until combined. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.

        Stuff the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use a fork to fluff the insides gently, creating space for the filling.

          Fill the Potatoes: Generously spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each potato, ensuring even distribution among all four potatoes. Top each filled potato with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

            Final Bake: Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Garnish with additional sliced green onions and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

                Enjoy your flavorful and spicy Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes!
