Hungry Girl’s Chicken Marinara Stuffed Potato

This inventive recipe is stuffed with flavor, literally. Enjoy the balance of protein and carbohydrates bathed in sauce and cheese. This is certainly a dish for a hungry girl who will be left anything but.  

Pierce potato several times with a fork. On a microwave-safe plate, microwave potato for 3 1/2 minutes.

Flip potato, and microwave for another 3 1/2 minutes, or until soft.

Once cool enough to handle, cut potato in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/4-inch inside the skin. Discard the potato pulp (or reserve for another use).

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add chicken, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms and onion, and cook and stir for about 4 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and veggies have softened and browned.

Remove skillet from heat. Add marinara sauce, garlic powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan. Stir to coat. Divide mixture between the potato halves.

Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese.
