1 Creamy Mushroom Chicken: Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Increase the heat and fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the white sauce and 50g of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

2 Baked Potatoes: Preheat oven to 180˚C. Rub the potatoes with 15ml oil and wrap in foil. Bake in the oven for 60-80 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and cooked on the inside. Make a cross in each potato, don’t cut all of the way through. Divide the creamy mushroom chicken mixture between the baked potatoes. Top with the remaining 50g cheese.
