Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 packet onion soup mix
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until they are fully cooked through, approximately 7-8 minutes. Ensure the chicken is no longer pink in the center and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Combine Vegetables and Seasonings: To the skillet with the cooked chicken, add the chopped broccoli and sliced water chestnuts. Sprinkle in the ground ginger and garlic powder. Stir and cook the mixture for about 2 minutes until the broccoli begins to soften.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, blend the onion soup mix with the water and soy sauce until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
-
Simmer the Mixture: Bring the skillet to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: While the filling simmers, prepare the potatoes. Scrub and dry them thoroughly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a cavity for the filling. You can save the scooped-out potato flesh for another use or discard it.
-
Stuff the Potatoes: Spoon the chicken and broccoli mixture into each potato half, packing it generously into the cavities.
-
Finish and Serve: Arrange the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the tops of the stuffing are slightly golden.
-
Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These stuffed potatoes are perfect as a satisfying meal on their own or can be paired with a light salad for a complete dinner.
