Ingredients

• 4 whole Large russet potatoes
• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 1 cup Cooked and diced chicken breast
• 1 cup Chopped broccoli
• 0.5 cup Grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.

Step 3

Rub each potato with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with half of the salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are baking, steam the chopped broccoli for about 5-7 minutes until tender, then set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cooked chicken breast, steamed broccoli, grated cheddar cheese, remaining salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven. Carefully cut a slit in the top of each potato and gently squeeze from the ends to open them without breaking them apart.

Step 7

Spoon an equal amount of the high-protein filling mixture into each potato, ensuring they are generously filled.

Step 8

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven on a baking tray and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melty.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and garnish each potato with freshly chopped chives before serving.

Step 10

Serve the high protein jacket potatoes hot as a satisfying main dish or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
