Preparation:
Wrap your potatoes in foil and bake in 400 degree oven until done. You can use any kind of potato you like, but if you are looking for an inexpensive option the baker potato works pretty well. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get the two I used cooked, but it will vary depending on the size of the potatoes. While the potatoes are in the oven you can get your filling ready. Season your chicken breast with the salt, pepper and paprika. You can cook them pretty much any way you want, but I went with pan grilled. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and add your veggies and garlic. Chop your chicken into cubes and return it to the pan with the veggies. Once the potatoes are done remove them from the oven and cut them either in half or cut off the tops. I went with cutting them in half on a bias. This makes for a little more interesting plating, but there are tons of other ways you can cut them ... be creative. Then, scoop out the insides leaving a nice layer of potato, but don't throw away the excess. You can always use that for a little soup or even mashed potatoes the next day. Fill the potatoes with your chicken and veggies, top with cheddar cheese and toss them back in the oven until the cheese is completely melted. Sprinkle with a little parsley for looks and there you go ... it is Just That Easy!
