Method

  • step 1

    Microwave the potatoes for 10 mins on High, turning after 5 mins, and heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the mushrooms over a high heat until golden. Stir in the cornflour, gradually add 100ml milk, then simmer to a smooth sauce. Season to taste, then stir in the chicken and parsley.

  • step 2

    Scoop most of the potato from the skins, then mash with the remaining milk and some seasoning. Spoon the chicken filling into the shells, top with the mash, then bake for 10 mins until golden and the skins have crisped a little. Serve with green veg or a salad.

Glad I read the comments first, I added chopped shallots and garlic, some sherry and tarragon instead of parsley to the mushroom mix and added cheese to the mashed potatoes, would have been bland without I but was nice and tasty (used plant based ‘chicken’ too to make it veggie

To give this an update i would listen to previous advice. It really is quite bland if you don't add your touch to it. I added half an onion and loads of seasoning before it tasted halfway decent. I wanted something a little different instead of your usual jacket potato fillers, but I won't be using…

This was lovely, although I took the advice and livened it up a bit with some onion, garlic, celery, peas, a bay leaf and a drop of sherry!

My family thought it needed a bit of cheese on the top of the mash to top it off and maybe a bit more sauce.

I drizzled extra virgin olive oil over the potatoes and a sprinkling of salt before sticking them in the oven. I also bulked out the filling by using up some carrots :-)

this was really nice but i too would jazz it up with some cheese in the mash or even some worcester sauce in there somewhere
