Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Use a fork to pierce each potato several times to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake the Potatoes: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes. The potatoes are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Prepare the Filling: While the potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, sour cream, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Prepare the Potatoes for Stuffing: Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit lengthwise on the top of each potato and gently scoop out some of the potato flesh to create space for the filling.
Stuff the Potatoes: Generously fill each potato with the chicken and broccoli mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed potato.
Melt the Cheese: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately.
