Chicken-Stuffed Potatoes
4 large baking potatoes
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter or margarine, melted
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
- Scrub potatoes thoroughly, and rub skins
with oil.
- Bake at 400*F (205*C) for 1 hour or until
tender. Cool potatoes to touch.
Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper,
and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400*F (205*C) for 15 minutes;
let cool slightly, and chop.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; carefully scoop out pulp, leaving
shells intact. Mash pulp; stir in chicken, remaining 1/4 teaspoon
salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, butter, and next 3 ingredients.
Spoon mixture evenly into potato shells, and place on baking
sheet.
Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 30 minutes or
until thoroughly heated.
Makes 8 servings.
Note: To reduce baking time, scrub potatoes,
and prick several times with a fork. Place 1 inch apart on paper
towels. Microwave at HIGH 14 to 17 minutes, turning and rearranging
once; let stand 2 minutes.
