Broccoli Cheese Potato with Chicken

Broccoli Cheese Potato with Chicken

A loaded potato is one of my ultimate comfort foods. Broccoli Cheese Potato with Chicken is an all in one meal that is so easy to prepare. It is filling and most importantly delicious.  The combinations for yummy baked potatoes are pretty much endless. You can create all kinds of yummy potatoes with your favorite veggies, meats, or both. If you are vegan or vegetarian you can easily remove the chicken and use a plant based cheese/non diary sour cream.

What you will need:

2 Chicken Breast cut into Strips
4 Potatoes (Russet or any Baking Potato)
2 Tbsp of Oil ( Avocado, Olive, Canola)
2 Tsp of Salt
2 Tsp of Pepper
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1/4 Cup of Milk
1 Package of Steamable Broccoli
1 Tbsp of Dried Parsley (Optional)
Foil
Baking Sheet Pan

Prep:

Pre-heat oven to 450F. Wash and scrub potatoes to rid of any dirt. Dry the potatoes and then poke holes in the skin on all sides. Place on foil and then brush oil all over. Season with salt and pepper. Then wrap and sit aside. Repeat until all potatoes are wrapped.

(Be sure to clean all areas where you handle raw chicken to avoid cross-contamination) Slice Chicken Breast into strips. Season with Salt and Pepper or J.Delawcious seasoning. Then sit aside until ready.

In a small bowl add sour cream. Then add milk a little at a time. Stir until the sour cream has thinned out. If the sour cream is still thick add a little more milk until desired thickness. Then pour into a squirt bottle and refrigerate.

Cook/Bake:

Place the potatoes in the oven and allow to bake for 45 mins. When the potatoes have been cooking for 30 minutes, preheat a non-skillet with oil on medium heat. Once oil is hot, place the chicken strips inside. Cook chicken until 165F internally. This will take about 2 minutes on each side.

Put the frozen broccoli into the microwave according to the instructions. You can buy prepared cheese sauce or refer to my mac and cheese recipe to make your own. Keep both items warm until assembly.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes.

Assembly:

Slice the potato half way through. Then add butter, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, broccoli, and cheese. Then add sour cream on top. Sprinkle parsley as a garnish and enjoy.

Baked Potato with Steak & Peppers

First let me say, New Jersey has some of the best food EVER! I was thinking of home and was inspired to recreate on of my Jersey favorites. While I was working in Newark, I use to frequent this restaurant called Barbecue Hut which is now closed for baked potatoes. I know it is strange to hit a BBQ spot for potatoes but they these baked potatoes were FIRE! What made these potatoes so special was the toppings.
