TATO BOATS

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until soft.
• Slice in half and scoop out"meat" leaving approximately 0.125 inch meat inside skins.
• These are your boats.
• (I use the meat that I remove to make mashed potatoes) In a medium bowl, combine chicken and 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, covering chicken generously, and put the BBQ'd chicken in the boats.
• Repeat process using 1/4 cup BBQ sauce and mushrooms.
• Pour remaining sauce over boats.
• Bake in 200 degree oven for 20 minutes or until mushrooms are cooked and sauce is at the desired thickness.
• Sprinkle cheese over tops and bake only until cheese is melted.
• Serving Suggestions: This is how I like them.
• You can change it to meet your tastes.
• You can omit the mushrooms or use whatever veggies you like.
• You can omit the cheese.
• You can even omit the bbq sauce (but, in this case, be sure to cover with foil to prevent chicken from drying out) and use ranch dressing.
• It's up to you!
• But beware, they're more filling than you think!
• Enjoy!!
