Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 baking potatoes
  • 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
    Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 45–60 minutes, or until fork tender.
  2. While the potatoes bake, season your chicken breast with:
    Salt
    Black pepper
    Garlic powder
    Smoked paprika
    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook 5–6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding or dicing. Resting keeps the chicken juicy — don’t skip this step.
  4. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet over low heat.
    Add:
    ¼ cup buffalo sauce
    1 teaspoon butter
    Stir until melted and evenly coated. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors absorb into the chicken.
  5. Slice each baked potato open lengthwise. Fluff the inside with a fork.
    Divide the buffalo chicken evenly between the two potatoes.
  6. Top with diced celery for crunch and drizzle with ranch dressing if desired.
    Serve immediately while warm and melty.
