Loaded Baked Potato & Chicken Casserole 😍 so easy to make 🥰
INGREDIENTS:
470 gr. Of boneless chicken breasts, I cut them into 1-inch cubes.
8 medium red potatoes, I peeled and cut them into 1/2″ cubes.
1/3 C.Of olive oil.
2 Tbsp.Of garlic powder.
2 Tbsp. Of hot sauce, you can add more if you like it so HOT.
1 Tbsp.Of paprika.
2 tsp.Of salt.
1 tsp.Of black pepper.
FOR THE TOPPING:
2 C.Of fiesta blend cheese.
1 C.Of diced green onion.
1 C.Of crumbled bacon.
DIRECTIONS:
I preheated the oven to 400°F. And I spray with a cooking spray the bottom of a 9.13′′ baking dish.
I mixed the olive oil, with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and hot sauce together in a big bowl.
I added the chicken and cubed potatoes and stir to coat them.
I scoop the potatoes and chicken into the lined baking dish carefully.
I baked for 55- to 60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until fried, crispy, and browned on the outside.
While the potatoes are cooking, I fried the bacon, about half a pound.
When completely baked, I removed the potatoes and chicken from the oven.
And I placed the cheese, fried bacon, and green onion on top of the fried potatoes.
After that, I placed the casserole back in the oven and cooked for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melted.
A fantastic warm and hearty weeknight meal, quick to cook and get on the table, enjoy it!!!.
