Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add diced chicken, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika; cook until no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken with broccoli, cheese, sour cream, and half the green onions; mix well.
- Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them lengthwise and scoop out some flesh to create space for the filling.
- Fill each potato with the chicken mixture and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with remaining green onions and parsley before serving.
