Chicken & Baked Potato
Baked Potatoes
- Set the oven to 425 degrees
- Coat each potato with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle each with 1 tbsp of the sea salt
- Prick each potato a few times with a fork to allow the steam to vent while cooking
- Bake for 25 minutes then turn the potatoes over and bake for another 25 minutes or so. The potatoes are finished when a fork goes into the potato like butter. Insert the fork into a few areas of the potato to make sure it is cooked through.
- While the oven is the best way to bake a potato, you can also use the microwave to speed up the cooking process.
Assembly
- Insert a knife into the potato on one end and cut into it the length of the potato.
- Make 2 - 3 cross-cuts with the knife and then squeeze the potato open and spread it out a bit on the plate. Add butter to the potato if you like.
- Lay the sliced/diced chicken neatly down the length of the potato.
- Spoon Dennis' Black Bean and Corn Salsa over the chicken.
- Add 2 tbsp of sour cream in a dollop in the middle.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp of the parsley flakes on top.
You're good to go - enjoy!
