- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup butter
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 1/2 cups Buffalo hot sauce (such as Texas Pete®)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, checking for doneness after 1 hour and then every 15 minutes, 1 1/2 to 2 hours total.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
- Cut potatoes in half horizontally. Scoop out potato flesh into a large bowl. Add butter; mix until melted and well-combined. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in chicken, 2 cups Cheddar cheese and buffalo sauce; mix well to combine. Spoon potato filling back into empty skins. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
