Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can green chilies (4 oz)
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Rinse the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Prick them all over with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
3. While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to shred.
5. In the same skillet, stir in the green chilies, tomato sauce, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet and mix well with the sauce.
7. Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer to hold the shape of the potato.
8. Mix the shredded chicken and sauce together and spoon into the hollowed-out potatoes. Top with shredded Mexican cheese blend and chopped fresh cilantro.
9. Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Serve hot with sour cream on top (optional). Enjoy your delicious green chicken enchilada stuffed baked potato!
