Jatz Chicken with Blood & Guts Potatoes

No quite as horrible as it sounds!!!

I channelled my inner Nigella for this dinner, so first I put on some nice lippy, let my hair hang down and put on a very sexy, chest hugging top...! Ok, I was actually wearing a pair of board shorts atleast a size too big that don't zip up, some daggy singlet (possibly a bra) and my hair well it could have been mistaken for a birds nest!

But basically I saw Nigella cook this on TV the other night and Rat_girl proclaimed "mum that looks yummy you should cook that, eeewww blood & guts potatoes YUM" HAHA.  There is no doubt an actual recipe with quantities somewhere online, but I'll just make up what I did.

Blood & Guts Potatoes (also known as twice baked potatoes)

This served 4 people (half potatoe each)

2 x large(ish) potaoes, with skin on, scrubbed

Cheese, (cubed) I used just a chunk

Tomato sauce

Pierce potatoes with a fork, randomly a few times and place in a hot oven, straight on the wire rack to bake for about 1.5hours.  They need to be tender (mine weren't quite tender enough, I'm impatient!)

Once cooked pull out to cool for a bit before you handle them

Then slice in half and scoop out the guts...!

Then use a fork to mash with cheese and tomato sauce.  Then spoon back into the skins.

A bit more sauce on top and they are ready for the oven.  They don't need too long, just enough to melt the cheese.

Jatz Chicken

This served 2 adults, a 4yo and a 10month old (plus there are leftovers in the freezer waiting to be cooked)

2 x chicken breasts, cut into strips or nugget size pieces

butter milk, I had a 600ml carton I would have used about half (next time I might use low fat natural yogurt)

box of jatz biscuits, crushed

Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk, the longer the better apparently, it makes the chicken very tender and juicy...this is what Nigella said :-)

Then coat in the crumbs and lay on a baking tray, if you wish to freeze any for future use, do so at this point.

Bake in the oven, moderate, mine took no more than 15mins and my oven is crappy.

and then voila
