Hearty Chicken-Filled Potato Recipe

Prep: 1-1/4 hours Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 1 Servings

75 10 85

Ingredients

1 large baking potato
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
Dash cayenne pepper
1 boneless skinless chicken breast half (4 ounces)
1 teaspoon butter, softened
1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1-1/2 teaspoons milk
Dash pepper
Salsa, minced fresh cilantro, minced chives and additional sour cream, optional

Directions

Scrub and pierce potato. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. Meanwhile, combine the cumin, oregano, 1/8 teaspoon salt and cayenne; rub over chicken. Place in a small baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear.
Cut chicken into small cubes; set aside. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of potato and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell. In a small bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the cheese, sour cream, milk, pepper, remaining salt and reserved chicken.
Spoon into potato shell. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with salsa, cilantro, chives and additional sour cream if desired. Yield: 1 serving.
