Instructions
Creating Crack Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Poke holes in them using a fork to allow steam to escape. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
3. Bake the Potatoes: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Mix the Chicken Filling: While the potatoes are baking, combine the shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, cream cheese, half of the cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
5. Prepare the Potatoes for Stuffing: Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a small border.
6. Stuff the Potatoes: Fill each potato half with the chicken mixture, pressing it down gently. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
7. Bake Again: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired.
