Easy dinner for a family of four, and a great chicken breast recipe for the oven. Piping hot, and pretty darn healthy.
Ready in: 1 hour 10 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 Russet potatoes
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1/2 cup pesto sauce

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 1 hour

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until you can easily slide a knife through the potatoes.
3. While potatoes are cooking: cover chicken with water in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Drain and toss with pesto.
4. Split potatoes open and top each with chicken.Cook potato faster in microwave

In a hurry? Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce with a fork as above, then put in microwave on a paper towel. Microwave on high for 15 minutes (only 8-10 if you are doing just 1 potato), or until you can easily slide a knife through the potato.
