Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Give the potatoes a good wash, then prick them with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté them until they are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and season with garlic powder and black pepper, cooking just until heated through.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few moments. Carefully cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
Spoon the chicken and pepper mixture into each potato and top generously with shredded provolone cheese. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for a few more minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve these tasty baked potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired. Enjoy your meal!
