Chicken-Stuffed Potatoes

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Cook the potatoes:
   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cook them whole (with skin) in salted water for 20–25 minutes, until tender. Alternatively, you can bake them.

2. Prepare the filling:
   Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in a bit of oil. Add the shredded chicken and spices. Stir in the cream and cook over low heat until the mixture is creamy.

3. Stuff the potatoes:
   Once cooled, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the inside. Mix the scooped-out potato with the chicken filling to make it juicier.

4. Gratinate (bake):
   Fill the potato halves with the mixture, sprinkle grated cheese on top, and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10–15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve these stuffed potatoes with a fresh salad, rice, or a light yogurt-lemon sauce. They can also be served on their own as a complete dinner.

💡 Helpful Tips

• For a lighter version, use plain yogurt instead of cream.

• For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with cooked mushrooms or lentils.

• Add a bit of béchamel sauce before baking for an even creamier finish.
