Description
BBQ Chicken Cheddar Twice-Baked Potatoes are a delightful twist on a classic dish, combining creamy potatoes with smoky BBQ chicken and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and poke holes in them with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Once the potatoes are baked, let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl. Add the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, sour cream, butter, half of the cheddar cheese, and green onions to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Carefully spoon the filling back into the potato skins. Top each filled potato with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Place the filled potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with black beans or grilled vegetables.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
