ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- avocado oil spray
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- 1 chicken breast
- 2 chopped green onions
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450, and start some water to boil on the stove top. Once water is boiling- add chicken breast and cook to 165.
Step 2
Place washed and dried potatoes on a baking sheet, with a wire rack. (If you don't have a rack, line sheet with foil... and flip the potatoes half way to crisp all sides) bake for 25 minutes.
Step 3
Remove potatoes from oven, and spray or paint on avocado oil (or neutral oil of your choice!) and sprinkle with salt.
Step 4
Return to oven for another 20 minutes. This is where the skin of the potato gets crispy and perfect.
Step 5
Remove cooked chicken from boiling water, and set aside to cool.
Step 6
Prepare the filling, by adding softened cream cheese, spices and seasonings, and cheddar cheese to a bowl.
Step 7
Add chicken breast, whole! or you can pre shred if you'd prefer... but listen, this way is EASIER! :)
Step 8
add buttermilk, and use a hand mixer to combine everything and shred the chicken at the same time... trust me, you'll never want to shred chicken by hand again!
Step 9
Once potatoes have finished cooking, remove from oven.. slice vertically, and push ends together to pop open more. (carefully! they're hot!)
Step 10
Allow to cool slightly, or while wearing an oven safe glove... scoop out inside of potato (keeping skin in tact) into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 11
Use hand mixer to combine, but not over mix. Add a splash more buttermilk if it feels too thick.
Step 12
Scoop filling back into potatoes, and. bake for an additional ten minutes. Top with more shredded cheese in the last 2-3.
Step 13
Serve with fresh dill, flaky salt, chopped chives, and a little hot sauce if you're spicy!
