Baked potatoes filled with tender chicken, fresh veggies and seasonings recreate a traditional winter dish into a healthier version!
Potatoes. I love potatoes.
And stuffed with all kinds of yummy vegetables to make a great lunch, well, I’m there!
This recipe comes from that old favorite, chicken pot pie. But instead of a warm and bubbly bowl of that rich traditional dish, now you can have it as a fresh-vegetable inspired baked potato meal!
And this is the perfect lunch meal or dinner side that will warm you from the cold chill outside. And cold it has been lately!
But be sure to keep this recipe handy, as it is fabulous to make all year-round; take it from a potato lover!
Genius!
And these Chicken Pot Pie Twice Baked Potatoes are great if you are trying to eat a bit healthier.
If you are on a special meal plan, they just might work for you too as they contain no dairy or grains and are Whole30 compliant.
They come together easy; just bake the potatoes, prep your veggies, mix the potato flesh, veggies and seasonings together, bake again and voila – a deliciously healthy meal!
These are an absolute lunchtime dream for me as they’re:
Easy to make.
Healthy.
Taste good.
Satisfying.
