How to Make BBQ Chicken Baked Potatoes

Next, wash and scrub the outside of your baking potatoes and use a fork to poke holes in your potatoes. You’ll wrap each potato in foil and place them onto your baking sheet.
Then, bake your potatoes in the oven for 425 degrees for 45 minutes or until they’re softened.
Now, remove your potatoes from the oven, split them in half, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add 1 tbsp. of butter, your shredded BBQ chicken, and top with Monterrey jack cheese and green onions.
Finally, boil them in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is slightly browned, or cook for another 5-10 minutes if you are not using a broiler. Enjoy!
