Preheat oven to 425°F.

Place thick cut bacon on the baking sheet and put it in the oven, flipping every few minutes until crispy.

Break down a rotisserie chicken, removing bone, skin, and cartilage, and chop the breast meat into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups).

Grate a block of colby jack cheese and mozzarella cheese.

Wash the russet potato thoroughly, scrubbing the skin with a paper towel.

Poke holes in the potato using a fork or sharp knife to allow steam to escape.

Microwave the potato until tender (or bake in the oven at 400°F until tender).

Dice green onions for the filling and garnish.

Dice the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces for the filling and garnish.

Slice the top off the cooked potato and let it cool slightly.

Scoop out the inside of the potato into a mixing bowl.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of butter to the potato flesh and mix until melted.

Mash the potato flesh using a potato masher.

Season the mashed potato with all-purpose seasoning, then add about ½ cup of sour cream and ¼ cup of ranch dressing.

Add ranch seasoning to taste and mix in the grated cheese, diced bacon, and green onions.

Fold in the chopped rotisserie chicken and taste to adjust seasoning.

Stuff the potato skins with the mixture and place them back in the oven.
