Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 4 slices bacon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in the prepared casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the potatoes bake, dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. In a separate bowl, toss the chicken with half of the buffalo sauce (1/4 cup).
Chop the green onions and cook the bacon until crispy. Let the bacon cool, then crumble it into small pieces.
After 20 minutes of baking, remove the potatoes from the oven and stir them gently. Add the marinated chicken pieces on top of the potatoes in an even layer.
Drizzle the remaining buffalo sauce and ranch dressing over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dish.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions on top before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish!
