The ingredient list:
- Russet Potatoes
- Cooked Chicken (rotisserie chicken or leftovers works well for this recipe)

- Butter
- All-Purpose Flour

Why this easy dinner recipe works?
Since I know that everyone is super busy and that trying to figure out what to make for dinner can sometimes be a stressful situation, especially when the time is limited.
By taking advantage of leftover cooked chicken, or store-bought rotisserie chicken, this chicken comfort food is super easy, and extra quick, so even a novice cook can have this delicious meal on the dinner table in 15 minutes or less.
The easy step-by-step photo instructions:
- Cook 4 potatoes in a microwave oven until cooked through (not shown).
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan.
- Add all-purpose flour to the melted butter.
- Stir and cook the roux (butter and flour mixture) for one minute over medium heat.
- Add the chicken broth and stir (or whisk) to combine.
- Cook and stir occasionally until the sauce is lump free and thickened.
- Add the chicken and thawed vegetables to the thickened sauce.
- Stir in the seasonings and vinegar.
- Heat through.
- Spoon the sauce and chicken over the opened, baked potatoes.
- Serve immediately.

Renee J. (RJFlamingo) says
As it happens, I was planning on doing something with chicken and potatoes for supper, tonight. I think I'll make this! I'll have to cook my chicken first, but since it's boneless, skinless breasts, it shouldn't take much extra time at all. Thanks, Renée!
Renée says
My pleasure, Renee. I know you'll enjoy them!
cooking with crystal says
What an absolutely genius idea! Perfect for those cold winter nights where comfort food is needed!
Renée says
Thanks for the comment, Crystal. However, spring and summer months can sometimes call for comfort food too. I made these on a hot day, and since they only take 15 minutes the kitchen was still cool, and so was I.
Emily @ Life on Food says
This dish is so cool. Taking a good dish and upping it to something better.
Renée says
Thanks, Emily. Chicken Pot Pie is still one of my favorites, but when time is short chicken pot potatoes are the way to go!
