I totally have a love-hate thing going on with twice baked potatoes and sweet potatoes. You see, I actually LOVE them, really I do.
The crispy, creamy, savory deliciousness is just way too good to NOT love, don’t you think?!
Whether we’re making my spinach artichoke twice baked potatoes, sausage pizza twice baked sweet potatoes, or now these ridiculous (in a good way) chicken caesar twice baked potatoes, there’s just no resisting them, period.
Okay, so why the hate part? Well, I can’t lie, twice baked potatoes can be a big pain to make. Not actually difficult, just a time consuming, multi-step process, and, as we all know – time is not something most of us are happy about giving up.
Because of that, I decided to cut a few corners with these potatoes, as well as give you the option of “semi-homemade” (you’ll see!). And yes, now with lots of Whole30 options, semi-homemade Whole30 is actually possible – woohoo!
Now for those of you who want homemade-homemade, you have that option here as well! I’ll explain in just a moment.
So, chicken caesar – obviously there’s some sort of caesar dressing going on in here.
Now, I do have a homemade caesar dressing that would be wonderful in this recipe, BUT, for those of you not wanting to add the step of making a dressing from scratch, you can use Tessemae’s Creamy Caesar dressing (which is what I did! I’m totally hooked on it!)
If you’re new to Whole30 and Paleo and haven’t tried out Tessemae’s dressings and sauces yet – you must! While I do love making my own sauces, I’m also human and need to rest sometimes, and the Tessemae dressings are game changing for sprucing up those Whole30 meals.
I also recommend making these with either leftover cooked chicken or even a Whole30 compliant rotisserie chicken to cut down on cooking time.
If you prep shredded chicken to use in meals throughout the week that would also work really well for these twice baked potatoes, since you’re using a relatively small amount of chicken here.
And now we come to…the bacon! While there’s no semi-homemade option for bacon, I had to add it anyway because in my mind, twice baked potatoes NEED bacon! I recommend cooking it ahead of time so you can easily throw it into the mix when you’re ready to bake the potatoes for the second time.
So what else in in the mix here? We have chicken, bacon, creamy caesar dressing, mashed potatoes, ghee, and non-dairy milk to get these nice and creamy. You can use either unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk – the flavor won’t be affected.
After baking for the second time, I sprinkled additional bacon on top along with thinly sliced scallions. If you want, you can also drizzle more caesar dressing on top for extra flavor – you can see this in some of the photos.
Finally, I HAVE to mention that as leftovers these potatoes held up so well! You can actually make them start-to-finish, freeze them and heat them up in the oven without any issues at all. They’ll also keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
My daughter actually elected to eat the leftovers FOR BREAKFAST for 3 days in a row since she was seriously obsessed with them! If you have potato lovers in your house, be prepared for them to request these constantly after trying once 🙂
I think we’re ready to begin – I know you’re going to love these Chicken Caesar Twice Baked Potatoes – let’s go!
