Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
0.5 cup butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1.5 cups Buffalo hot sauce (such as Texas Pete®)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce potatoes several times with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check for doneness after 1 hour, then every 15 minutes until desired tenderness is reached.
While potatoes bake, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink and juices run clear, approximately 5 minutes.
Cut potatoes in half horizontally; scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, setting skins aside. Stir in butter until melted and combined, then season with salt and black pepper. Mix in chicken, 2 cups of Cheddar cheese, and Buffalo sauce until well combined. Spoon potato mixture back into empty skins. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of Cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in preheated oven until the filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
