    bbq chicken topped potatoes

    I’ve been on a potato kick lately. Big, big potato kick.

    Totally pregnancy related. But still, a big kick.

    I think it’s the butter. I generally eat a low-fat diet and I sense that when baby needs to grow and needs some fat, I crave potatoes. Because my body knows that I will slather butter all over them and get some good fat into the potato. (Amazing, I think, how the body knows what it needs!)

    I could eat them just like this…loaded up with butter, pepper and a little garlic salt.

    But since I have these dudes to feed, I thought I’d throw some BBQ chicken (and cheese onto Steve’s) on top. (Boy’s are dairy-free…still. Last time I tested, we got reactions 🙁 )

    So…this is an inexpensive one (potatoes are SO cheap right now!) for all those “meat and potato” mouths you have to feed!

    BBQ Chicken Topped Potatoes

    A little twist on your meat and potato meal! Tangy BBQ chicken on top of a warm, buttery baked potato.
    Prep Time15 minutes
    Cook Time1 hour
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 4-6 baking potatoes (depending on how hungry the crowd is!)
    • 1 lb. chicken breasts or thighs
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1 cup BBQ sauce
    • Butter, salt and pepper for potatoes
    • Shredded Cheese for topping
    • 1 lb. baby carrots

    Instructions

    • Bake the potatoes in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees. Or in the slow cooker.
    • Meanwhile, add the chicken with about 1/2 cup of water and the BBQ sauce to a Dutch oven or saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for 20 minutes, or until chicken is soft and tender. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then shred the chicken with 2 forks.
    • Once the potatoes are done, add butter and salt and pepper, mix and mash. Top with the shredded BBQ chicken and then cheese.
    • Serve BBQ Chicken Potatoes with side of veggies or fruit.

      This is a great idea for a lunch too! I put my potatoes in the crockpot. Wash them and put them in the crock pot on high for 2-3 hours and you have baked potatoes. Do not add anything to the crock pot but potatoes.

      Sounds yummy! We like to do chili-topped potatoes as our 2nd day meal after I’ve made a crockpot of chili. Bet you’d like that too!
