Ingredients

For the Potatoes & Chicken:

  • 4 large russet potatoes scrubbed clean
  • 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 6-8 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups parmesan cheese shredded or grated
  • 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning* store-bought or see notes for homemade (see notes)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle all sides with salt. Place them on the prepared pan. Do not poke any holes in them. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes bake…

  • Cut chicken into 1-2” pieces. Drizzle with just enough olive oil to lightly coat all sides. Sprinkle over the Italian seasoning, 1 tsp of pepper, and ¾ tsp of salt. Toss to coat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the chicken undisturbed for 4 minutes, then flip once. Lower the heat to low and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside under tented foil to keep it moist.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

  • In the same pan, still over low heat, add 4 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
  • Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce for 3-5 minutes. Be sure not to increase the temperature, as the sauce can split.
  • Whisk in the blackened seasoning and parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens.
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Finish & Assemble

  • Lift and drop each baked potato from about 12 inches off the pan. Give them a good whack to loosen up the inside and make them fluffy.
  • Cut the potatoes down the center to open. Use a fork to fluff the potato, then spread the inside with melted butter.
  • Drizzle some alfredo sauce into each potato first. Then, spoon in the chicken, dividing it equally among the four potatoes.
  • Add more alfredo sauce over the top of each potato, sprinkle with parsley, and serve!

Notes

Please note that the Parmesan cheese and blackened seasoning both contain salt. Be sure to taste the finished Alfredo sauce before adding any additional salt.
