# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.

Thoroughly scrub russet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork, rub with olive oil, and arrange directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes until fork-tender.
03 -
Allow baked potatoes to cool until safe to handle. Slice each lengthwise into halves.
04 -
Carefully scoop out the flesh from each potato half, leaving a 1/4-inch layer attached to the skin. Reserve removed potato for another use.
05 -
Arrange potato skins cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway, until crisp.
06 -
Remove skins from oven and fill each with shredded chicken. Evenly top with cheddar cheese.
07 -
Return skins to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly.
08 -
Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
