Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Scrub potatoes thoroughly and pat dry, then pierce each potato 8-10 times with fork for even cooking.

Rub potatoes with olive oil and coat with coarse sea salt and garlic powder for crispy skin.

Bake potatoes for 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with fork and skin is crispy throughout.

Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly.

Cook chicken in slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours or pressure cook for 15 minutes until easily shredded.

Cook bacon strips until crispy, then drain on paper towels and crumble into bite-sized pieces.

Shred cooked chicken using two forks, removing any excess liquid for proper texture consistency.

In large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch packet, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Mix chicken mixture until creamy and well combined, then fold in 1 cup cheddar cheese and half the bacon.

Season crack chicken mixture with additional salt and pepper to taste, then set aside until needed.

When potatoes are done, let cool for 5 minutes, then cut lengthwise and carefully scoop out flesh.

Mash potato flesh with butter, heavy cream, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Spoon mashed potato mixture back into potato skins, creating well for crack chicken filling.

Fill each potato generously with crack chicken mixture, mounding slightly for generous portions.

Top each stuffed potato with remaining cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and remaining bacon crumbles.

Return to oven for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly with golden edges.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh chives and green onions.

Serve immediately with additional sour cream, ranch dressing, and hot sauce on the side.

Accompany with fresh salad and steamed vegetables for complete comfort food meal experience.
