Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork. Rub down with the 2 tbsp of olive oil and season the skin with salt and pepper if desired.

Step 2

Set on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 60 minutes.

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tbsp ghee along with the shredded sprouts. Let them cook 3-4 minutes or until tender.

For chicken, it should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the chicken from the hot water and allow to cool on a cutting board. Once cool, shred or chop the chicken.
