- While the potatoes bake, bring a large potof lightly salted water to a boil and boil the chicken breast until it is no longer pink inside (about 15-20 minutes.)
- Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside until the potato has cooled.
- Once the potato is baking and the chicken is shredded, spray alarge pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel and dab off any grease.
- Roughly chop the bacon and set aside until the potato has cooled.
- Once everything is ready to go, it's time to make the bites!
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the potato and toss it into a large bowl. Mash it with a potato masher, or fork, until it is lump free.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mash until well incorporated.
- Add in the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, egg white, chopped cilantro and chopped bacon and mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Chop each cheese string into 12 pieces by cutting each string into 6 and cutting each of the 6 chunks in half.
- Pour the panko onto a large plate.
- Take a 1 Tbsp sized ball of the potato dough and press a chunk of cheese into the center. Wrap and roll the potato around the cheese until it is well centered and covered.
- Roll the ball around in the panko until it is lightly covered and place on the prepared baking sheet. Do this for the rest of the dough.
- Spray the poppers with a bit of cooking spray and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, take the potato poppers out and give them another light mist of cooking spray. Bake until lightly golden and crispy, about another 10 minutes.
- While the bites bake, throw the avocado, ranch dressing, garlic powder and salt and pepper into a small food processor. Blend until well mixed and smooth.
- Serve poppers hot with the dipping sauce.
