  3. In a skillet, add olive oil and cook seasoned chicken for 12-14 minutes until cooked through; chop into bite-sized cubes.
  4. Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to create a roux, gradually add milk, and cook until thickened.
  5. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth; add chipotle pepper powder and adjust seasoning.
  6. Steam broccoli for 2-3 minutes until vibrant; set aside.
  7. Slice each baked potato and fluff the insides. Layer with cheese sauce, chicken, and broccoli.
