1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken

# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 -
Scrub potatoes thoroughly and dry them. Coat each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
03 -
Allow baked potatoes to cool for 10 minutes. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch attached to the skin.
04 -
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken with garlic powder and a pinch of black pepper.
05 -
Sprinkle a small amount of cheddar and mozzarella cheese into each potato skin. Add the seasoned chicken mixture, then top with remaining cheeses.
06 -
Return filled potato skins to the oven and bake at 400°F for 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 -
Remove the tray from the oven and let potato skins cool slightly. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Optionally, garnish with turkey bacon bits.
