A great way to make a meal out of your plain baked potatoes.

Ingredients

8 (8-ounce) medium baking potatoes

Cooking spray

2 cups Coarsely chopped roasted chicken

2 cups (8 ounces) freshly shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar or

Pepper Jack cheese, divided

1-2 Canned chipotle peppers, minced plus 1 tablespoon liquid from can

1 tablespoon Taco seasoning

1/2 cup Reduced-fat sour cream

1/2 cup Chopped chives

Preparation

Prick potatoes with a fork. Bake for 1 hour at 425°. Let cool slightly.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp for other desired use, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Place potato shells on a baking sheet; spray inside of shells with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until crisp.

Combine chicken, 1 cup cheese, chipotle pepper and liquid, taco seasoning and sour cream; divide evenly among potato shells. Bake at 425° for 5 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Sprinkle with chives.

Cook's Notes

For fans desiring a less spicy 'skin, use one chipotle pepper and substitute water for the liquid from the can.
