- In a small bowl, combine the chopped, seasoned chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Only add salt if your chicken or Alfredo sauce needs more seasoning.
- Spoon the Alfredo sauce generously into the potato halves, spreading it evenly over the fluffed potato flesh.

- Return the loaded potato to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly and the filling is heated through.
- Carefully remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious and comforting loaded chicken Alfredo potato!
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives before serving. You can also experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or a Colby Jack blend. If you don't have cooked chicken, quickly sauté chicken breast pieces with your favorite seasonings before assembling.
