BBQ Baked Potato

Preheat oven to 450° F. Wash and dry potatoes. Stab each potato with a knife or fork several times to ensure even cooking.

In a small dish, combine seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Parmesan cheese.

Line a baking sheet with foil and rub potato with olive oil and the seasonings. Bake the potatoes in the oven for 50 minutes or until fully tender when poked with a fork in the center. (If you prefer softer potato skin after baking, wrap each potato in foil before baking.)

Shred cooked chicken breast and place in a small baking dish. Combine with bbq sauce. Coat all the chicken with the bbq sauce.

When potatoes have been in the oven for 30 minutes, place the chicken in the oven on a different rack. The chicken and the potatoes should have about 20 minutes left to bake. Once the chicken and potatoes have finished baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

To assemble, in a bowl or on a large plate, place the potato and slice an “X” with a knife. Scrape the potato’s insides (the white part or orange, if using a sweet potato) to loosen it from the skin.

To the inside of the potato, add butter, bbq chicken, cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives (or whichever toppings you prefer). Serve and enjoy.
