Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large russet potatoes
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
- 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Rub the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the chicken topping. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add them to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit down the middle of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
Top each potato with a dollop of sour cream, a generous portion of shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Topped Potatoes!
