Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Baked Potatoes

With running my own business and chasing after a 4 year-old all day, easy-to-fix meals are my jam. I love that I can toss the potatoes in the oven for an hour and forget them and use a rotisserie chicken and quickly assemble this warm, tasty meal. I have no shame in using shortcuts to get dinner on the table! Plus, it’s so dang good so who cares!?
