Ingredients

Scale

Baked Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (breast or thigh)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean, prick them with a fork a few times, and bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: While the potatoes bake, shred cooked chicken into small pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
  3. Scoop Out Potatoes and Mix: Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out most of the insides into the chicken mixture bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato to keep the skin intact. Stir to combine the potato with the creamy chicken mixture.
  4. Stuff the Potatoes: Spoon the chicken and potato mixture back into the potato skins, packing each half generously. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet for the final melt.
  5. Bake and Melt: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on top. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a golden finish, watching carefully.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftovers to save time and add extra flavor.
  • Don’t overfill the potato skins to avoid bursting while baking.
  • Brush potato skins with olive oil or butter before baking to enhance crispiness.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and fewer additives.
  • Prepare the chicken filling ahead and stuff the potatoes just before baking for convenience.
