How to Make Barbecue Stuffed Potatoes

  1. Wash and pierce potatoes several times with a fork.
  2. Microwave potatoes on high for 5 minutes, then flip and microwave for another 5-7 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. While potatoes are microwaving, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, 2 tablespoons of chopped green onion, and optional barbecue sauce.
  4. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat shredded chicken for 1-2 minutes on high until warmed through.
  5. Once potatoes are tender, carefully cut them open lengthwise.
  6. Fluff the inside of each potato with a fork.
  7. Top each potato with the shredded chicken, sour cream mixture, shredded cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of green onion.
  8. (Optional) Microwave for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
