Instructions:

Bake Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until they are soft and tender.
-
Prepare Potato Boats:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, slice them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the inner flesh, leaving about 0.125 inches of potato attached to the skin. These hollowed-out potatoes are your “boats.”
-
Prepare Chicken Filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce until the chicken is generously coated.
- Fill each potato boat with the barbecue-coated chicken.
-
Prepare Mushroom Filling:
- Repeat the process with the fresh mushrooms, tossing them in 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce until coated.
- Fill the remaining potato boats with the barbecue-coated mushrooms.
-
Bake:
- Pour any remaining barbecue sauce over the filled potato boats.
- Place the boats in a 200°F (93°C) oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are cooked through, and the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
-
Cheese Topping:
- Once baked, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the tops of the potato boats.
- Return them to the oven and bake just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
