Ingredients

  • 2 medium (about 1 lb) russet potatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1.5 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • ¾ cup BBQ sauce
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 stalks scallions, sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush potato halves with oil, season with salt and pepper, place cut-side down on a sheet pan.

  2. 2

    Bake 18–20 minutes until skin crisps and flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 3

    While potatoes bake, warm shredded chicken and BBQ sauce together in a skillet over medium heat until bubbling, ~3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Scoop a shallow well into each hot potato half, leaving a thin shell. Divide BBQ chicken between them and top with cheddar.

  5. 5

    Return potatoes to oven for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles at the edges.

  6. 6

    Top with bacon, sour cream, and scallions. Serve hot from the skillet.
