Kung Pao Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes | The Ultimate Comfort Food with an Asian Twist!

Spicy, savory, and crispy—this Kung Pao Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato is the ultimate comfort food with an Asian twist!

Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes, baked

2 chicken breasts, diced

4 slices bacon, crumbled

1/2 cup roasted peanuts

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 green onions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes, then bake them directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender. Once done, let them cool slightly before cutting a slit on top and fluffing the inside with a fork.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the sesame oil. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the garlic, ginger, and chili garlic sauce. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and a splash of water. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, toss it in the sauce until well coated. Stir in the roasted peanuts and cook for another 2 minutes.

Carefully spoon the Kung Pao chicken mixture into each baked potato. Top with crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added freshness.

Serve immediately, and enjoy the perfect blend of spicy, savory, and crispy in every bite!
