Cut the chicken into small pieces and put into a bowl.
Note
From page 167, Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook...
"Your children may want some butter on their potatoes, as growing children do well with Crossovers. If you’re still in weight-loss mode, we doubt you’ll miss the butter if you pile on all the E-friendly toppings we list. Remember, though, that a Crossover is not a cheat. We all can enjoy them from time to time, and some of us need more of them than others. You will likely have leftovers of this chicken, but that is great for other meals."
Serving Idea: Arrange the fixin' ideas in separate bowls. When the potatoes are done (about 45 minutes), split them open, creating room for the fixins. Pile the potatoes high with your choice of goodies; you can can even drizzle on 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter for your E fat quota.
