Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then microwave for 10 mins or until tender. Transfer to a tray, rub all over with 1 tbsp oil, then bake for 10 mins or until crisp and tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a lidded saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, cover and cook for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally. Mix through the garlic and cumin, cook for 1 min, then add the chicken mince. Cook, uncovered, for 5-8 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until opaque, lightly golden and the cooking juices have evaporated.
  3. Stir in the pepper, lentils, chilli sauce and 250ml water. Cover and cook for 15 mins, stirring often, until the lentils are soft.
  4. Cut a deep cross in each potato and fill with the chicken chilli. Top with the grated cheese and coriander to serve.
