Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of raw?

Absolutely! Skip the slow cooker step and warm the cream cheese and ranch in a saucepan, then stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep the filling and potatoes separate if possible. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

What’s the best way to reheat these?

Microwave works fine for a quick fix, but if you want that crispy potato skin again, pop it in the oven at 375°F for about 15 minutes.

Can I make it low carb?

Sure thing! Skip the potato and use the filling in lettuce wraps, stuffed peppers, or over roasted cauliflower.

- Scrub and dry the potatoes. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Bake directly on the rack for 45–60 minutes until soft and crispy-skinned.
- Microwave option: Poke with a fork and microwave 3–12 minutes depending on size.
Assemble and Broil:

Notes

Time-saver tip: Use shredded rotisserie chicken and mix filling in a pan for faster prep.
Double the filling: It’s freezer-friendly and great in sandwiches, wraps, or quesadillas.
Low-carb option: Skip the potato and serve the filling over cauliflower or in lettuce cups.
