This quick, delicious, and rich ambrosia is ideal for a gathering. When I was dissatisfied with other recipes, I combined elements of what I loved to create my own. It’s a terrific summertime treat because it’s rich and creamy.

| Total Time: | 1 hr 5 mins |
| Servings: | 8 |
| Yield: | 8 stuffed potatoes |
Ingredients
- 8 large baking potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 (2 pound) rotisserie chicken
- 1 (16 ounce) package Vegetables, mixed, frozen, unprepared
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 5 ounces freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Rinse and scrub potatoes, then prick with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Set on the prepared rack.
- Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until the internal temperature is 205 to 212 degrees F (96 to 100 degrees C), about 50 minutes.
- While potatoes are baking, remove meat from rotisserie chicken; discard skin and bones. Pull or cut meat into chunks and keep warm.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top potatoes with chicken mixture and drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
