Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 8 large baking potatoes
• 1 (2 pound) rotisserie chicken
• 1 (16 ounce) package Vegetables, mixed, frozen, unprepared
• 5 ounces freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• freshly ground black pepper or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 2

Rinse and scrub potatoes, then prick with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Set on the prepared rack.

Step 3

Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until the internal temperature is 205 to 212 degrees F (96 to 100 degrees C), about 50 minutes.

Step 4

While potatoes are baking, remove meat from rotisserie chicken; discard skin and bones. Pull or cut meat into chunks and keep warm.

Step 5

Prepare Alfredo sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Add garlic in a single layer; cook until soft and fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat and pour in half-and-half and cream; whisk to incorporate. Add Parmesan cheese and pepper and continue to whisk, until cheese is melted.

Step 6

Place vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until warm, about 3 minutes. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces if desired, and mix with chicken.

Step 7

When potatoes are finished baking, remove from the oven. Cut a slit into each potato with a fork or a knife, leaving 1/2 inch uncut on edge. Use both hands to press each potato in towards the center so it opens up. This will help let you stuff the potato.

Step 8

Top potatoes with chicken mixture and drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
