Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 cups chicken breast, cooked and diced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes clean, then pat them dry.
Prick each potato with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape while baking.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, mix together the diced cooked chicken breast, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, low-fat cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Once the potatoes are fully baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently press the ends to open up the potatoes.
Scoop out a portion of the potato flesh and add it to the bowl with the high-protein mixture and mix well until combined.
Add the butter to the potato mixture and stir until butter is melted and distributed evenly.
Stuff the potato skins with the high-protein mixture, packing it well.
Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melty.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
