Chicken Stroganoff-Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Leftover chicken is key to these chicken stroganoff-stuffed baked potatoes, a creamy mushroom and chicken sauce served over baked potatoes. Add a crusty bread and a green vegetable, or a salad. We like it with roasted asparagus that goes into the oven about 20 minutes before the potatoes are done. Don't you love to get double duty from your oven?
