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! What's football without the appetizers.
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 4 hours or LOW 6 hours.
Remove the chicken from pot, reserve 1/2 cup broth and discard the rest (or save for other recipes).
Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the 1/2 cup of the broth and the hot sauce.
Cook on HIGH for an additional 30 minutes. (Makes 1 1/2 cups chicken)
Meanwhile, pierce potato with a fork a few times all around.
Place in microwave and cook on high about 5 minutes per potato; set aside to cool.
Cut potatoes in half horizontally.
Scoop out potatoes (I save the extra potato to make skinny garlic mashed potatoes the next day) leaving about 1/4 inch thick wall, skins will weigh about 1 oz each.
Heat oven to 450°.
Lightly spray potato skins on both sides with oil and place a foil lined baking sheet.
Season with salt and pepper and bake 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 start eating!
