Ingredients 

2 medium baking potatoes (about 6 to 7 ounces each)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
2 cups coarsely chopped Gold’n Plump® Deli Rotisserie Chicken
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded American cheese
4 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled

Instructions 

Scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush; pat dry. Prick potatoes with a fork.

Place on a paper towel or microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 9 to 12 minutes or until tender; cool.

Discard potato skins.

Cut each potato lengthwise. Scoop out the white portion of each potato. Break up any large pieces and set aside.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of green onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour. Add milk all at once.

Cook, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes, or until mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 more minutes. Add potato and cheese; stir until the cheese melts.

Top each serving with a portion of remaining 1/4 cup green onion and bacon.
