Potato Skins with Buffalo Chicken

This lively dish gives a nod to buffalo chicken wings but without extra fat and calories. Start with a foundation of nutritious potatoes -- which are naturally high in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber -- and replace fried wings with shredded chicken breast and top with fresh tomatoes and onions. Don't forget the celery sticks.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 9 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 cup non-fat milk
  • 1/4 cup fat-reduced sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 green onions
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 4 celery stalks

Steps

1

Center oven rack and preheat oven to 425 °F.

2

Place chicken in a sauté pan, add water, and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes and remove from pan; let cool slightly. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred using two forks, one in each hand.

3

While chicken is simmering, wash and scrub potatoes with a clean vegetable brush under running water and slit each one lengthwise about 1-inch deep.

4

Place potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.

5

Slice each potato in half length-wise, scoop out potato, leaving a 1/4 inch shell. Mash potato together with hot pepper sauce, sour cream, margarine, and milk. Fold in blue cheese and shredded chicken.

6

Spoon mixture into potato skins slightly denting center (to hold fresh toppings after baking).

7

Place filled potato skins on a 9x13 inch baking sheet and bake about 15 to 20 minutes until tops are golden brown.

8

Dice tomatoes and green onions. Cut celery stalks into four inch sticks.

9

To serve, top potatoes with onions and tomatoes. Serve celery sticks on the side for scooping potato contents.
