Two beloved comfort foods come together in this Twice Baked Chicken Pot Pie Potato recipe. This mash-up delivers all the cozy flavors of a warm pot pie nestled inside a perfectly baked potato. One bite of the creamy mashed potatoes, paired with rotisserie chicken, a medley of peas and carrots, and melty cheddar cheese is sure to satisfy all of your comfort food cravings.

“Perfect cross between a twice-baked potato and a chicken pot pie,” said recipe developer Amanda Holstein. "Creamy potatoes made with garlic and fresh herbs emulate a pot pie filling, while the cheddar cheese gives it that traditional baked potato flair."

  3. Bake in preheated oven until skin is crispy, and a fork can easily be inserted into centers of potatoes, about 1 hour. Let cooked potatoes sit at room temperature until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes; reserve baking sheet with foil.

    Microwave Method

    Place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate; microwave potatoes on HIGH, until a fork can easily be inserted into centers of potatoes, 10 to 12 minutes.

  4. Cut cooled potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop flesh into a large bowl, leaving about 1/8-inch border around the edges; place potato skins, cut side up on reserved baking sheet; set aside.
