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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes clean, then pat them dry.

Step 3

Prick each potato with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently press the ends to open up the potatoes.

Step 8

Scoop out a portion of the potato flesh and add it to the bowl with the high-protein mixture and mix well until combined.

Step 9

Add the butter to the potato mixture and stir until butter is melted and distributed evenly.

Step 10

Stuff the potato skins with the high-protein mixture, packing it well.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
