Hey there, I just want to share a recipe with you all
, It’s one of my culinary discoveries that leaves me wondering how I've lived without it. t’s as indulgent and delicious as it sounds, and I couldn’t wait to pass it along to you
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Baking potatoes – You’ll need one large russet potato per person. The recipe below makes 6 potatoes but can easily be scaled to feed as many or as few as you need.
- Chicken – I use a pound of chicken breast but you could use thighs, too.
- Ranch seasoning mix – Use ½ of a packet or a tablespoon of the dry seasoning mix.
- Cream cheese – I prefer full fat here. Makes the chicken nice and creamy.
- Bacon – Try to get the low sodium variety; the rest of the ingredients tend to have a lot of salt so anywhere you can reduce the sodium is good. You can always adjust the seasonings later.
- Cheddar cheese – Shred your own right off the block. Packaged shreds have a coating that keeps them from sticking together but also prevents proper melting.
- Garnish – Fresh chives or green onion, extra bacon, drizzle of ranch, blue cheese crumbles.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them all over with a fork. This prevents them from exploding in the oven, and trust me, you don’t want that mess.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50-60 minutes, until they’re tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until it’s no longer pink in the middle. Then shred it up with two forks.
- Add the ranch seasoning mix and cream cheese to the shredded chicken, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and everything is combined into a creamy mixture.
- Cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy, then crumble it into bits.
- Once the potatoes are done, slice them open and fluff up the insides with a fork. Load them up with the crack chicken mixture, then sprinkle on the shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon.
- Pop the stuffed potatoes back into the oven for about 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish your masterpiece with fresh chives or green onion, an extra sprinkle of bacon, and maybe even a drizzle of ranch or some blue cheese crumbles if you’re feeling fancy.
