Indulge in a satisfying and healthy twist on the classic baked potato, loaded with tender chicken, steamed broccoli, and a blend of creamy cheeses. This flavorful and nutritious dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend meal.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each potato with a fork several times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the Potatoes: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Prepare the Filling: While the potatoes are baking, mix the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, sour cream, butter, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
Prepare the Potatoes for Stuffing: Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Cut a slit lengthwise in the top of each potato and gently scoop out some of the inside to create space for the filling.
Stuff the Potatoes: Fill each potato generously with the chicken and broccoli mixture. Top each stuffed potato with shredded cheddar cheese.
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: Remove the potatoes from the oven, garnish with fresh chives, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Broccoli Stuffed Baked Potatoes!
