How to Make Savory Potato Skins Worth Waiting For

  1. Marinate 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1 cup dry white wine for at least 2 hours (longer is better!).
  2. Bake 4 large russet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. (Alternatively, microwave potatoes on high for 8-10 minutes, then crisp skins by brushing with butter and salt, and broiling in oven for 5-7 minutes).
  3. While potatoes bake, fry the marinated chicken in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  4. Add the chicken marinade to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, reducing it to a glaze. Pour glaze over the chicken.
  5. Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise.
  6. Scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a ½-inch border. Reserve the potato flesh for another use (e.g., mashed potatoes).
  7. Place 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp dehydrated milk powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a food processor.
  8. Add the cooked chicken and 2 large eggs to the food processor and pulse until finely ground. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
  9. Season the mixture with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Fill each potato skin with the chicken mixture.
  11. Sprinkle with remaining chopped cilantro.
  12. Serve warm or cold.
