Description
A delicious and hearty dish featuring baked potatoes topped with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and ranch flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 baking potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 chicken thighs, grilled and cooked
- 2 slices cooked bacon, diced
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- Butter, to taste (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Scrub potatoes thoroughly, dry with a cloth, and prick several times with a fork.
- Coat the potatoes evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt over all sides.
- Arrange potatoes on a heavy baking sheet or cast iron skillet. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, turn potatoes, then continue baking for another 20–30 minutes until the interiors are fork tender and skins are crisp and golden.
- While potatoes bake, combine ranch seasoning mix with sour cream and refrigerate to let flavors meld.
- Grill chicken thighs until fully cooked and juices run clear. Slice or dice as desired.
- Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes lengthwise and gently squeeze ends to open and fluff the flesh. Top with butter, salt, and pepper if desired.
- Layer chicken, cheddar cheese, ranch-flavored sour cream, diced bacon, and green onions over the fluffed potato.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Feel free to add other toppings like jalapeños or avocado for extra flavor.
