Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet baking potatoes
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 8 oz cream cheese (full-fat)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup bacon bits
- 2 green onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub the potatoes clean, poke several holes in each with a fork, and bake directly on the oven rack for 45–60 minutes until tender.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 7–10 minutes per side until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks.
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, ranch seasoning mix, and cream cheese until smooth.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Stuff generously with the crack chicken mixture.
- Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Return to the oven for about 10 minutes until melted.
- Finish with chopped green onions before serving.
