1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 (24 ounce) package chicken breast strips, chopped
1/4 cup hot sauce
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake potatoes for 1 hour. Potatoes should be tender. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Spoon out the potato pulp being sure to leave the skins intact. Place the pulp in a large mixing bowl. Add 3/4 cup of cheese and sour cream to the pulp. Stir to combine. Add 1 tablespoon of hot sauce and mix well. Refill the potato skins. Top generously with the remaining cheese. Place on foil lined cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees for about 7 – 10 minutes. The cheese should be completely melted. Cook the chicken according to package directions. Once cooked add the butter, 1/4 cup of hot sauce and chili powder. Stir to coat the chicken. Add the chicken mixture to the top of the potatoes.
