These potato skins are stuffed with shredded buffalo chicken breast made in the crock pot, topped with melted cheese, blue cheese dressing, carrots and celery – they are seriously delicious!
In a crock pot, combine chicken, onions, celery stalk, garlic and broth (enough to cover your chicken, use water if the can of broth isn't enough).
Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
Remove the chicken from pot, reserve 0.5 cup broth and discard the rest (or save for other recipes).
Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the 0.5 cup of the broth and the hot sauce.
Cook on HIGH for an additional 30 minutes. (Makes 1.5 cups chicken)
Meanwhile, pierce each potato with a fork a few times all around.
Place potatoes in microwave and cook on high about 5 minutes per potato; set aside to cool.
Cut potatoes in half horizontally.
Scoop out potatoes (you can save the extra potato to make skinny garlic mashed potatoes the next day) leaving about 0.25 inch thick wall; skins will weigh about 1 oz each.
Heat oven to 450°F.
Lightly spray potato skins on both sides with cooking spray and place on a foil lined baking sheet.
Season with salt and pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, add 2 tablespoons of chicken meat filling into each potato skin, top with 1 tbsp shredded cheese and bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top each with 1 tsp blue cheese dressing, shredded carrots and celery and enjoy!
Notes
These potato skins are perfect for game day or a fun appetizer. Adjust hot sauce to your preference!
