Step-by-step preparation:
Prepare the chicken filling
Fry the chicken breast pieces and chopped onion in a pan until cooked through. Add salt, black pepper, and chicken seasoning. Drain the mixture and reserve the resulting broth.
Shape the potato boats
Peel the potatoes and cut each one in half. Scoop out the center of each half to form a boat, saving the scooped-out potato for later use. Season the potatoes and fry them in oil until golden brown and cooked inside.
Stuff the boats
Finely shred or chop the cooked chicken. Generously fill the potato boats with the shredded chicken.
Make the béchamel sauce
In a pot over heat, mix the butter and flour until combined. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper, then add the processed cheese and cheddar, stirring until completely melted.
Top and bake
Pour the béchamel sauce over the stuffed potato boats. Top with additional cheddar cheese if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until the top is golden and bubbly.
