Ingredients
- 1 medium russet potato washed and scrubbed
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken chopped and seasoned
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- heavy pinch garlic powder
- heavy pinch paprika
- heavy pinch dried oregano
- pinch black pepper freshly ground
- 2-3 tbsp Alfredo sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil for potato
- pinch salt for potato (optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potato thoroughly. Pierce the potato several times with a fork.
- Rub the potato with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Place the potato directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Once the potato is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven. Let it cool slightly so you can handle it.
- Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fluff the inside of the potato with a fork, creating a cavity for the filling.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped, seasoned chicken with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Add salt only if needed, depending on how your chicken was seasoned.
- Spoon the seasoned chicken mixture evenly into the potato.
- Top the chicken with shredded mozzarella cheese and a drizzle of Alfredo sauce.
- Return the loaded potato to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious viral Cheesy Chicken Loaded Potato!
Notes
For a quicker meal, use leftover or rotisserie chicken. Adjust seasoning to your taste. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives adds a nice touch. You can also add steamed broccoli or corn for extra vegetables. For an even creamier result, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving. Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or a Mexican blend for a unique twist!
