Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the baking potatoes clean, then pierce each one several times with a fork. Rub the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes bake, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
When the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Cut a lengthwise slit on the top of each potato and carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a medium bowl, leaving a thin layer to keep the skin intact.
Mash the potato flesh with butter, milk, and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Stir in the shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and 2 chopped green onion stalks.
Spoon the chicken and potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it on top.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over each stuffed potato.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish the stuffed potatoes with the remaining green onions and serve hot.
