“Skinny Jeans” Potatoes
This recipe is amazing! It’s basically twice baked potatoes + barbecue chicken. The first time I made this recipe I was a little hesitant about combining the two together so I made half without the chicken on top. What a mistake that was! It tasted so amazing with the barbecue chicken on top. Trust me,…
