Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 Russet potatoes
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 2 cups barbecue sauce
• 4 strips bacon
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until you can easily slide a knife through the potatoes.
3. While potatoes are baking: bring 4 cups of water to boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Drain, then toss with barbecue sauce in a saucepan and warm over medium heat.
4. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy; drain on paper towels, then crumble.
5. Split potatoes open and top each with some of the BBQ chicken. Cover with mozzarella slices and return to oven for 3 to 4 minutes to melt cheese. Sprinkle with bacon and serve.Cook potato faster in microwave

In a hurry? Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce with a fork as above, then put in microwave on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 15 minutes (only 8-10 if you are doing just 1 potato), or until you can easily slide a knife through the potato.
