Ingredients

• 4 Large baking potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry and prick each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 3

Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 4

While the potatoes bake, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed and chopped broccoli, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully cut a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato. Gently press the ends together to open up the potato slightly, creating a pocket.

Step 6

Scoop out most of the potato flesh into a separate bowl, being careful not to tear the skins. Mash the potato flesh lightly and mix it into the chicken and broccoli filling.

Step 7

Spoon the filling mixture back into each potato shell, packing it in generously.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the stuffed potatoes.

Step 9

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
