BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Stuffed potatoes have added a fun spin on traditional meals that comply with real food eating as you remove refined carbs like bread or pasta or if you are gluten-free and need a bread less option.

Don't fear a potato, white or sweet, they can definitely have a place in a healthy diet geared towards fat loss. Completely avoiding carbs is unnecessary - thank goodness, because they’re oh so good.

This quick dinner is perfect to plan ahead for with a food prep day. Pre-cook and shred the chicken during your food prep so that when it comes to dinner time all you have to do is cook the potatoes and heat the chicken and bbq sauce through and you're basically done!
