Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices crispy Turkey Bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and prick each one several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes until tender.
- Once baked, allow the potatoes to cool slightly before cutting them in half lengthwise and scooping out most of the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- In the bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh with shredded chicken, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the filling back into each potato shell, topping with remaining cheddar cheese and chopped Turkey Bacon.
- Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
