1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake potatoes for 1 hour, until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise, scoop
out flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell and transfer flesh to a large bowl. Add bacon, sour cream and Cheddar and
mix until blended. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Spoon mixture back into the shells and
discard any remaining shells. Sprinkle with a little more shredded Cheddar. Arrange stuffed shells on a baking
sheet (or refrigerate until ready to bake). Bake 20 minutes, until golden brown. If desired, top with chives
before serving.
To make chicken strips, coat chicken all over with Dijon mustard. Place Parmesan in a shallow dish or plastic
bag, add chicken and turn (or shake bag) to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes per side, until cooked
through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, lemon juice, chili powder, hot sauce, and black pepper.
Set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Serve chicken with sauce and baked potatoes on the side.
