Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake Potatoes: Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until they start to become tender.
  • Prepare Chicken and Ranch Mix: In a separate bowl, toss the chicken pieces with ranch dressing to coat evenly.
  • Assemble Casserole: Remove the baking dish from the oven and add the coated chicken on top of the partially cooked potatoes. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Bake Again: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Add Bacon and Garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle crumbled bacon on top, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes


  • For extra flavor, drizzle additional ranch dressing on top just before serving.
  • This casserole pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables.
  • You can add a handful of chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
