Ingredients

  • 4 (5-to 6-oz.) Russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 4 teaspoons healthy buttery spread
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic or seasoned salt
  • Snipped fresh chives or green onion tops (optional)
  • 3 cups tiny broccoli flowerettes
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Cut a wedge out of each potato about 1/8-inch wide and 1-inch deep and place in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on HIGH, uncovered, for 10 to12 minutes depending on strength of microwave. Use oven mitts to remove dish from microwave. Carefully make a slit in the top of each potato and fluff with a fork. Stir 1 tablespoon yogurt, 1 teaspoon buttery spread and 1/8 teaspoon salt into each potato; sprinkle with chives if desired. Place broccoli in a small bowl with water. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Drain and spoon equal amounts onto each seasoned potato. Sprinkle each with cheese and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes more to melt cheese.
