How To Make

There are just nine easy steps between you and this mouth-watering dinner idea. Once you taste this loaded baked potato chicken casserole, you are going to want it all the time.

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use Cooking spray and coat the baking pan well.

Step 2. Dice up the red potatoes and toss them in the baking dish.

Step 3. In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together. Once mixed, pour over the potatoes.

Step 4. Next, you’ll need to cook your potatoes at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when you poke them.

Step 5. In a pan, you will cook up your diced bacon until crispy. Remove and place bacon on a paper towel.

Step 6. Leave the grease in the pan and add in the diced chicken and cook until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 7. Once potatoes are done, remove and top with chicken and bacon. Sprinkle with cheese, and if you want, you can add layers of meat and green onions to the top.

Step 8. Put the chicken potato casserole back in the oven to melt the cheese. This takes around 3-5 minutes.

Step 9. Once done, remove the casserole and let cool slightly. Then add your favorite toppings and serve.
