- heavy pinch dried oregano
- pinch black pepper freshly ground
- 2-3 tbsp Alfredo sauce

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potato thoroughly. Pierce the potato several times with a fork.

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!
