Check off ingredients as you go.
Contains milk.
Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (180°C fan) and bake the potatoes for 55 to 65 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a knife goes in easily.
Warm the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the mushrooms for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned.
Add the chicken and heat it for 3 to 4 minutes, until steaming hot right through.
Cooked when: 74°C / 165°F, steaming hot throughout. A food thermometer is the reliable way to tell.
Take the pan off the heat, wait for it to stop sizzling and stir in the yoghurt.
Split the potatoes, fluff the insides with a fork so the filling works in rather than sitting on top, and spoon the filling over. Finish with the chives.
Fluff the potato centre before adding the topping. A fork through the flesh gives the sauce somewhere to go; without it the filling slides off the first forkful.
One serving is One filled potato. You can switch to a smaller portion in the ingredients above; it is three quarters of this, and it contains correspondingly less energy and protein. It is an option, not a goal.
