Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, in a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
4 large Russet potatoes
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl with the seasoned chicken and toss to coat.

Once the potatoes are almost done (about 10 minutes left of baking time), carefully remove them from the oven. Make a slit down the center of each potato. Gently press the ends to fluff the insides.
Divide the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly among the four potatoes.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each potato. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

For an extra creamy texture, you can add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top before serving.
