Is there anything more hearty and delicious than a baked potato with cheese and bacon? NOPE!! So we put it all in one dish, added chicken and some hot sauce and BAM!! The best dinner ever cooked in an aluminum tin. We just love this dish, it’s easy to make and tastes so good. Guaranteed to become a favorite at your house as well.

Loaded Baked Potato & Chicken Casserole 

All you need is 8-10 potatoes, 2-3 chicken breasts, some bacon, and cheese.  The rest should be in your cupboards already and this makes for one hearty dinner 🙂

In a large bowl combine hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt,and pepper whisking sauce till well blended. Slice your potatoes into cubes, add to the sauce, and stir to coat. Spray cooking spray to your tin or casserole dish and scoop potatoes in, then begin cooking.

You want to leave excess sauce in the bowl to coat the chicken chunks. set your timer for 15 mins. and begin cutting the chicken breasts into chunks and coat with remaining sauce. Cook the bacon and then chop into bits. Stir the potatoes every 15 mins. after 45 mins add the chicken to the top and bake an additional 15 mins. Stir the cooked chicken into the potatoes add cheese and bacon on top and return to the oven for 2-3 mins. Dinner is ready.
