Loaded Alfredo Chicken Potato
A comforting and satisfying dish featuring a perfectly baked potato generously stuffed with seasoned chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese. This viral recipe is a quick and easy weeknight favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato russet or baking
- 0.5 cup cooked chicken chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 heavy pinch garlic powder
- 1 heavy pinch paprika
- 1 heavy pinch dried oregano
- 1 to taste black pepper
- 2-3 tbsp Alfredo sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1 tsp olive oil for potato
- 1 pinch salt for potato (optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potato thoroughly and pat dry.
- Rub the potato with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 1 hour, or until fork-tender.
- While the potato bakes, ensure your chicken is cooked and chopped. Season the chicken with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Taste and add salt only if needed, considering the Alfredo sauce might also be salty.
- Once the potato is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven. Slice it lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through, and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
- Stuff the potato with the seasoned chopped chicken, then drizzle generously with Alfredo sauce.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Return the stuffed potato to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and everything is heated through.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the chicken seasoning or a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving. You can also add steamed broccoli or cooked bacon bits for more texture and flavor. Adjust salt carefully, especially if your chicken or Alfredo sauce is already seasoned.
