TIP! Chicken schnitzels are available from the deli counter of major supermarkets. As they may vary in size, cut to fit the top of the potatoes. Any thick tomato pasta sauce can be used.
Ingredients
Method
Wash and scrub potatoes. Prick all over with a fork. Wrap each potato in foil. Place on an oven tray.Â
Cook in a hot oven (200C) for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove. Stand in foil for 10 minutes.Â
Unwrap potatoes. Using the back of a large spoon, squash potatoes to flatten until they are the same size as the chicken pieces.Â
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add chicken, in two batches. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.Â
Wipe pan clean. Add bacon to same, oiled hot pan. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
Place potatoes on an oiled, large oven tray. Spray with cooking oil. Top with chicken, bacon, sauce, basil and mozzarella.Â
Return to same hot oven (200C) for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
Serve garnished with basil leaves.
