Buffalo Chicken Baked Potatoes! These gameday inspired spuds are stuffed with a mixture of shredded chicken tossed in Buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese. All the flavors of chicken wings in a baked potato!
We made it to Friday, friends! In fact, I'd say Friday snuck up on me... and I'm definitely behind on posting. Oops.
Most of my week has been spent filling orders for my little shop {loving the sudden spike in orders, but there's only one person to get them all done!}, working, and bonding with my brand new Kitchenaid. Isn't she pretty??
{Yep, that's a borrowed pic. I don't normally make it a habit of having random wedding cakes sitting around the kitchen...}
My "To Share" list of posts has grown particularly long {and I promise I'll get to writing up all the good ones at some point}, but before the weekend starts, I want to leave you with a customizable, Super Bowl-worthy recipe that might give you an alternative option for the Calorie Fest about to go down this Sunday in most of your living rooms!
How does a Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potato sound?
It's a little something I whipped up last week when I was craving the deliciousness of wings and blue cheese, listened to the angel sitting on my shoulder and went the healthier{ish} route. I found it to be a nice cross between Potato Skins and Buffalo Wings, two game day favorites.
You can make this as healthy as or calorific as you please, and swap out ingredients as you see fit. {or unfit as the case may be} I won't know the difference {but your pants waist might}. 😉
Hope your Super Bowl Sunday is full of more tasty treats and less antacid! 😉
Buffalo Chicken Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 baked potatoes
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream, plus extra for topping
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast
- ⅓ cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan with foil; set aside.
- Cut cooled baked potatoes in half and scoop insides into a medium bowl, careful to leave a thin wall of potato in each skin so that they hold their shape.
- Add a teaspoon of onion powder, sea salt, and ½ cup of Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and blue cheese crumbles to the pulp. Mash with a fork until the mixture is smooth and seasonings are incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, toss Buffalo wing sauce with shredded chicken. Set aside.
- Fill potato skins with potato mixture, careful not to overfill. Top each potato with Buffalo chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over top of each stuffed potato.
- Bake potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
- Garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and scallions.
