Description
A comforting blend of baked potatoes filled with creamy, cheesy crack chicken, topped with crispy bacon and green onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon, crumbled
- Green onions, chopped for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and pierce the russet potatoes with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch seasoning mix, cream cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese until well blended.
- Once baked, allow the potatoes to cool slightly, split them open lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and fill them with the chicken mixture.
- Top the filled potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Put the loaded potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving.
