Easy to prepare and make. Very well received by my family. Definitely a new favorite in our home.
This turned out amazing and had great flavor. My 2 year old kept asking for more. Made it as is but left off the bacon cuz i didn’t have it and used half an onion and cut the cheese amount down. AMAZING DINNER!
Omg! I saw this recipe and had to try it. It was my first time making it and it came out amazing.
fixing it now. can’t wait to try it
Absolutely delicious recipe! I will definitely be making this again and again!!!
i made this and added broccoli the kids loved it!!!
This was outstanding!! My husband said he could have eaten the entire casserole himself. I used yellow potatoes & left the skin on, boneless, skinless chicken thighs & used minced onion spice in the marinade for the chicken since I didn’t have any green onions. I baked the potatoes at 375 for 45 minutes before adding the chicken. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Thank you Holly; this was so tasty.
This is DELICIOUS! I added montreal chicken seasoning to the potatoes for a little more flavor. Everything came out great!!
easy & delicious!
I have made this dish numerous times, I now add anything I have that needs using up, making it now as a type, using half a bell pepper, onions, stringy beans and butter snap peas. I am cooking the mushroom in butter to reduce them down and browning them, as I love almost burnt mushrooms, so much more flavor. using a clove or two of fresh garlic. Several friends who have tasted it now make it themselves and love it.
I just made this tonight and my family was oohhhing and ahhhhhhing and Couldn’t get Enough! It’s delicious! Crispy potatoes, tender chicken, cheese & Bacon? You can’t go Wrong! My daughter wants me to show her how to make it, and she never asks for recipes. I only had bacon bits, but it gave it a nice smokey flavor. I also added a tbsp of onion powder by mistake, but still it was a Hit! Thank YOU!!
simple ingredients. makes a delicious meal. cooked in the air fryer. I got a thumbs up from hubby.
What a delicious meal I made exactly as written and it came out perfect. Even the next day the leftovers were good. I will be adding this to my list to make again soon. Thank you for sharing.
So happy it was a success for you! This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. It’s so good!
I’ve made this recipe twice now, following exact directions. Not only is it simple, it’s decadently Delicious!!! My family asks for it over and over AGAIN!
I didn’t have garlic powder so I used garlic salt to my liking (didn’t use regular salt). Before putting the cheese and bacon in, I added some cooked chopped broccoli and mixed with the cooked potatoes and chicken. Added the green onions at the end as a topping and it was divine!! Definitely going to make this again!!
Easy and inexpensive dish for our small family. My family loved it so much they asked I make it again. Definitely a keeper.
I made this last week, feeling a bit dubious. I followed the instructions as written and the result was wonderful! My family loved it! I’ll be making this again, and again. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Nice pot luck dish. Yummy. Kids love it Kept all proportions, timing etc the same. Changed method a little. 1. Mixed spices and 3 T oil and tossed potatoes in that mix before starting to bake. Put diced chicken in bowl with any remaining oil mix. Fried up bacon, set aside, poured off most of fat, then briefly sauted chicken in bacon grease til surface colored, before adding to potatoes. Added to overall flavor I think.
Absolutely delicious. We ate it with tortillas like a breakfast burrito. It was a big hit either way. We have a family of 7 … 2 grandparents, a granddaughter and her husband, 3 great grandchildren 10, 7 and 10 months. Everyone loved it, even the 10 month old.
I made this tonight. It was easy to make and tasted amazing. My wife already asked me to make it again.
I’m new to your site – thanks for all of the great ideas! I was searching for what to do with left over shredded chicken and roasted potatoes. This was a great springboard! I followed your recipe, cut down a bit on the time in oven, and added in some leftover roasted broccoli and spinach I needed to use. It was fantastic!
