BBQ Chicken Stuffed Potato Skins
BBQ Chicken Stuffed Potato Skins are a great dinner recipe!
They could also be served as a party appetizer or game day snack!
You could even double the batch of crock pot BBQ chicken and use the rest to make BBQ chicken quesadillas or nachos.
Cook once, but make two or three meals is one way of working smarter, not harder.
How to make BBQ Chicken Stuffed Potato Skins
For this dish you’ll need two pounds of chicken breasts.
Sprinkle both sides with your favorite BBQ seasoning.
Then drizzle about 9 to 10 ounces of BBQ sauce.
I’m a sucker for Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.
Everyone has their favorite BBQ sauce, so use your favorite for this.
The chicken will cook on low for at least 6 hours.
This part can be done in the morning before work so when you get home it’s very little work putting these together.
Shred the chicken with two forks right in the crock pot.
It will look like there’s too much liquid in the crock pot when you start shredding, but the chicken will absorb all that liquid.
Add more BBQ sauce and the chicken is ready to go!
For the potato skin part of this dish, I used 4 Russet potatoes that I coated with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.
They baked for about an hour.
Once they were slightly cooled I cut them in half and scooped out most of the potatoes.
With the potatoes that I scooped out I saved to make mashed potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner 🙂
All that’s left to do now is fill the potato skins with the BBQ chicken and bake for 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
Top them with some shredded cheese and bake for 5 more minutes to get that cheese nice and melty.
YUM!
I topped mine with a sour cream mixture that I whipped up while the potato skins were baking.
It’s just sour cream, balsamic vinegar and more BBQ seasoning.
We also added some pickled jalapenos for a little spice 🙂
They would also be super yummy with Sweet Pickled Red Onions!
