Ingredients
- 6 medium Idaho or Russet potatoes*
- 12 oz boneless skinless chicken breast (or tenderloins)
- 12 tbsp reduced fat shredded cheese
- cooking spray (I use my Misto)
- 1 celery stalk
- 1/2 cup carrots (cut into 2-inch matchsticks)
- 1/2 onion
- 1 large celery stalks (cut into 2-inch matchsticks)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup Skinny Blue Cheese Dressing
- 16 oz fat free low sodium chicken broth
- 1/3 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce (I used Frank's)
Instructions
- 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!
