Ingredients
– 5 medium Russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
– 1 ยฝ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
– ยฝ tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– ยฝ cup cooked chopped bacon
– 2 green onions sliced thin
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 400ยฐF and grease a 9ร13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray to get everything ready for baking. Spread the cut potatoes evenly in the dish, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and toss to coat for that perfect crispy texture.
2-While the potatoes bake for 40 minutes, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat them evenly, ensuring every bite is full of flavor. Once the potatoes are done, carefully add the seasoned chicken on top, toss to combine, and pop it back in the oven for about 15 minutes until the chicken cooks through.
3-Finally, sprinkle on the cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions, then bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese melts beautifully. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving, and feel free to add sour cream for extra creaminess. This method keeps things juicy and tasty, perfect for busy nights when you want something homemade without the hassle.
