Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins 

Ingredients For Buffalo Chicken:

• 2 large boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup hot sauce

Instructions:

Step 1: Turn on sauté function on your Instant Pot.

Steps 2-5: Add and heat the olive oil. Add the onion, salt and garlic. Stirring often, cook 2-3 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 6: Add your chicken and cook 2-3 minutes or until brown on both sides.

Steps 7-9: Add chicken broth and hot sauce and stir.

Step 10: Lock the lid on your Instant Pot and set to high pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Release pressure naturally for 10 minutes and release remaining pressure.

Step 11: Shred chicken with a fork. Drain sauce and set aside.

Ingredients For Potato Skins:

• 3-4 medium baking potatoes
• Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup cooked bacon
• Green onions
• Foil

Instructions For The Potatoes:

Step 1: Preheat Air Fryer to 400.

Steps 2-4:  Pierce each potato 5-6 times with a fork or sharp knife. Rub or spray with oil and sprinkle with the salt.

Step 5: Place potatoes in the Air Fryer basket, making sure they are not crowding each other. We had large potatoes, so we could only fit two potatoes at a time.

Step 6: Cook potatoes for 20 minutes, turn and cook 20 minutes. Using tongs, lift out your potato.    

Steps 7-8: Slice potato in half and scoop out potato.

Steps 9-10: Add chicken and cheese.
