Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes. Use a box grater to shred the potatoes into thin strips.

Step 3

Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix the shredded potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil. Press a handful of potato mixture into each muffin cup, molding it into the shape of a basket. Ensure that the potato layers are thick enough to hold their shape after baking.

Step 6

Bake the potato baskets in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

While the potato baskets bake, prepare the chicken filling. Chop the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 8

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the cooked chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 10

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and 1 tablespoon each of chopped parsley and chives. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 11

Carefully remove the baked potato baskets from the muffin tin. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each potato basket, filling them generously.

Step 13

Return the filled potato baskets to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and chives.

Step 15

Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy potatoes and creamy, cheesy chicken filling.
