Ingredients

4 medium potatoes (about 1-1/2 pounds)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce, divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
Additional sour cream and chopped green onions

Directions

Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells.
In a large bowl, mash the pulp with 1/2 cup cheese, sour cream and 1 tablespoon buffalo wing sauce. Spoon into potato shells. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Place on a baking sheet. Bake 8-12 minutes longer or until heated through. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with salt and chili powder.
In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir in the vinegar, butter and remaining buffalo wing sauce; cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer.
Spoon chicken mixture over potatoes. Serve with additional sour cream and onions.

I rcvd an email featuring this recipe and made these for dinner same evening. Let me tell you, these baked potatoes are YUMMY!! A little time consuming but very easy to make. Hubby and I really enjoyed this one and will for sure make these again. These were our main course and we had fresh broccoli to go with but these could easily be a great appetizer too.I highly recommend this recipe - enjoy!
