- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Scoop Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a thin layer to keep the skins sturdy.
