3 Ways to Cook Your Baked Potato:

How to cook baked potatoes in the oven: Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for one hour. They will turn out best if you use the middle rack in the oven.

How to cook baked potatoes in a Crockpot: The slow cooker is a great way to go if you are going to be gone all day and want to come home to cooked potatoes or if you or if it is super hot out because it doesn’t heat up your kitchen. Depending on how big your crockpot is, you can put several potatoes in at once. Wash well, poke holes, oil with a little cooking oil, then wrap with foil. Cook on high for 4 1/2 hrs. to 5 hrs. Cook on low for 7 1/2 hrs. to 8 hrs.

How to cook baked potatoes in the Microvave: If you are in a hurry, you can always use the microwave. I cook 4-6 potatoes at a time with mine if I’m in a pinch. I have a “baked potato” button I just press and enter how many potatoes I’m cooking. They turn out perfect almost every time.

While potatoes are cooking, steam broccoli.

HOW TO STEAM BROCCOLI ~

I steam my broccoli in the microwave. Simply cut up your broccoli and put into a microwavable bowl. Cover with a paper plate or towel and microwave for 2 min. for a cup of broccoli. I like to add a little Johnny’s Garlic Seasoning to my broccoli.

When Potatoes are done, simply top with Chicken, Broccoli and Cheese. YUM!!
