Chicken and Twice Baked Potatoes



Grilled chicken breasts are often on sale and there are many ways to prepare them. Though I hate to admit it, Italian dressing by itself makes a fairly good marinade. These breasts were soaked for about an hour and cooked for about twenty five minutes.


The potatoes were the more interesting side. I nuked two potatoes for about five minutes then wrapped them in foil with an olive oil rub to cook. (Olive oil to attempt to crisp the skin a bit more.) After about twenty minutes on the grill I removed them and let them cool.


Once cool, I cut the two potatoes in half and used a spoon to scoop out the insides. The insides were placed in a bowl and combined with:

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup sour cream

4 slices of bacon (One for each half)

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Once these 'guts' were combined I put them back into the scooped out potato halves and placed them on the grill with a foil bottom for an additional 15 minutes. Delicious!
