Ingredients

For the Potatoes

1 pound Baby Potatoes The base of the dish; they hold up well during baking and bring a creamy texture.
to taste Salt Essential for flavor; don’t hesitate to season generously for the best taste.
to taste Pepper Essential for flavor; don’t hesitate to season generously for the best taste.

For the Chicken

1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Cubed for even cooking; thighs can be used for added juiciness.
1/2 cup Ranch Dressing Provides a creamy flavor to enhance both potatoes and chicken; store-bought works perfectly.

For the Topping

2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend A melty topping that adds flavor; cheddar or pepper jack can substitute nicely.
1 cup Cooked and Crumbled Bacon Adds a smoky crunch; pre-cooked bacon saves time.
1/2 cup Diced Green Onions Offers freshness and makes a lovely garnish; optional but elevates the dish.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cut the baby potatoes into 1-inch pieces and toss with ¼ cup ranch dressing, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in the baking dish.
Bake the potatoes for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through until golden-brown.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken and remaining ranch dressing, tossing to coat.
Remove the baking dish from the oven, add chicken over potatoes, cover with foil, and bake for another 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, add bacon, cheese, and green onions on top.
Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
