Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 potatoes (washed)
• 2 tbsp. 100% Coconut Oil
• 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
• 1 tbsp. oregano
• 50g mozzarella (sliced)
• 2 tomatoes (sliced)
• 1 handful spinach
• 1 cooked chicken breast (try baking in Cajun seasoning)
• 1 red pepper (sliced)
• 40g cheddar (sliced)

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Place the potato between the handles of two wooden spoons or spatulas and cut thin slices into the potato, cutting down as far as the wooden spoons will let you (not all the way through).
3. Next, transfer your potatoes to a baking tray and add the melted coconut oil, mixed with crushed garlic.
4. Then, add oregano and season your potatoes generously with salt and pepper before baking them for 1 hour.
5. Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow to cool before adding the fillings.
6. Place a couple of slices of cheddar or mozzarella on top of each potato and bake for another ten minutes. Then, remove and tuck in!
