For the sake of being as difficult as possible, the kids wouldn't even give me a thumbs up even though they REALLY liked this one. Brayden couldn't even stand still for the photo because he wanted to get back to eating it. I think that's a bigger compliment than the thumbs up.
This dish is quite possibly the most unhealthy thing any person could ever eat..... and it was fantastic! One spoonful is all I could do though, because it's very heavy. After only a few bites, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish. It's rich and spicy and pure heaven. Just about anything with bacon is heavenly.
Loaded Chicken and Potatoes - Serves 6 - 8
1 lb boneless chicken breasts - cubed
6 - 8 medium, skin on, red potatoes - cubed
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons hot sauce (more if you like it hot!)
2 cups fiesta blend cheese
1 cup crumbled bacon
1 cup diced green onions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In large bowl mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and hot sauce. Add cubed chicken and potatoes. Stir to coat.
3. Scoop the potatoes and chicken into prepared baking dish. Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until cooked through, crispy and browned.
4. While potatoes/chicken are cooking - fry the bacon and chop into fine pieces. About half a pound makes the 1 cup necessary.
5. Remove potatoes/chicken from oven. Top with the cheese, bacon and green onions. Return the casserole to the oven and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
