Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Ranch or additional blue cheese dressing for serving

Steps

1. 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake directly on oven rack for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
2. 2 While potatoes bake, cook chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Shred chicken and toss with buffalo sauce.
3. 3 Slice each potato lengthwise and fluff insides with a fork. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. 4 Fill each potato with an equal portion of buffalo chicken mixture and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. 5 Return stuffed potatoes to the oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. 6 Top with crumbled blue cheese and sliced green onions.
7. 7 Serve with additional blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side.
