Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream and chopped green onions for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes clean, prick each one several times with a fork, rub with butter, and sprinkle with salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the centers are soft when pierced with a knife.
  • While the potatoes bake, stir the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce together in a mixing bowl until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff the insides gently with a fork.
  • Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture evenly into the potatoes. Top each one with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Return the potatoes to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve right away with sour cream and green onions on the side.

Notes

Use a mild or sweet BBQ sauce if your kids prefer less tang. You can bake the potatoes earlier in the day and reheat them in the microwave before stuffing to speed up dinner. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes with a fresh sprinkle of cheese on top.
