Ingredients
 

  • 4 cups potatoes diced (about 4-5 medium potatoes)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced (use rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breasts)
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions optional, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
  • Prepare the Potatoes:
  • Place the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the Bacon:
  • While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Mix the Ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, diced chicken, crumbled bacon (reserve a little for topping if desired), ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well coated.
  • Assemble the Casserole:
  • Transfer the potato and chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions and any reserved crumbled bacon.
  • Serve:
  • Serve the Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Bake warm. It pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
