Summer in the States means cookouts, barbecues, and craving some seriously good comfort food. I have been thinking about my favorite summer sides lately, and a classic loaded baked potato (or also know as twice baked potatoes<\/em>) always hits the top of my list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to recreate my absolute favorite version to share with you, with the BEST TOPPINGS to impress the whole dinner. These loaded baked potatoes are exactly what you want: Easy and filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I wanted something completely different than the usual sour cream, cheddar, and chive situation. Stuffing a perfectly baked, crispy potato with a creamy chicken, bacon, and mushroom sauce takes a basic side dish and turns it into a massive, satisfying meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior of the starchy potato acts as a sponge for the white wine sauce. Cooking the chicken thighs in the leftover bacon fat keeps the meat incredibly juicy, while the Camembert melts over the top. Adding a quick drizzle of honey right before serving might sound strange at first, but you absolutely<\/em> need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It completely cuts through the heavy taste of the cheese and the salty bacon. It hits every single note: sweet, salty, crispy, and creamy all at once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
