This Loaded Chicken and Potato Casserole is amazing. Holy moly, it is good! Seasoned chicken and potatoes baked together, then topped with cheese, bacon and green onions. It is so delicious and packed with flavor!
My husband is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of guy, so you can imagine how happy he was when I whipped up this up for dinner last week. My entire family ate it in no time and loved it just as much as me. Yep, even the kiddos. 🙂
I’ve always loved a good casserole. All your favorite foods combined into one easy dish is just awesome. I think this Loaded Chicken and Potato version is my new favorite for sure!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Spread the cut potatoes evenly in the baking dish. Drizzle with 1 Tablespoon olive oil then toss to coat. Bake potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

This turned out great. I had no issues with anything being overcooked or undercooked. I just made sure the potatoes were cut small. I added half a can of cream of mushroom soup just because I wanted some creaminess, but I am sure it is just as tasty without that addition. It was a very comforting, yummy, all-in-one meal.
can i add chickenbroth? do you think that will take away the flavor or add to it?
Great recipe! Only added more salt and pepper when it was on our plates!!
OMG this looks amazing! Def trying for dinner tonight 😀
Baby potatoes might be good in this recipe. I’ll try it.
Made this tonight for dinner and it was so yummy and easy! Thank you for your awesome recipes.
Olive oil is healthy in any case so why not 🙂
Omg that was so amazing. I made it about a week and a half ago and my husband wants me to make it again already so I’m making it for him tomorrow as his valentine day dinner since that’s what he wants.
We love it too! It’s so good 🙂
My go to comfort food recipe…making this again, this time using boneless chicken thighs, they tend to have such good flavor. One of my family’s favorite dinners.
So great to hear that, Kristina! This is definitely one of my favorites too 🙂
What’s a good side to serve with this casserole?
I like to serve it with a green salad 🙂
It’s such a heavy meal, I think a light salad or maybe a cold fruit soup. you really need something light.
Making tonight! It Is one of the best recipes ever!!
Made this today, folLowed the recipe exactly…my family really liked it…next time I will double this recipe …will make again for sure.
Used frozen hash browns and added frozen broccoli. Delicious!
We love this recipe, but then again, we seem to never make it as well as we did the first few times. I’m not sure how we managed to mess it up. Its a casserole, not rocket-science
Here are the adjustments we’ve made:
*Make shredded chicken ahead of time
*Mix potatoes in Seasoned oil, but reserve some to mix chicken in
*Bake potatoes until done
*Stir in Seasoned chicken, Bacon, Cheese, & onions and Bake for 5 more min
This meal is very heavy, so we pair with a light side salad.
Everyone of my 8 kids liked this dinner.
This was a great and simple recipe. And even got compliments from my husband.
Made this recipe tonight and it was a huge hit! Will definitely be making this again!
This was a quick and easy way to make chIcken + potatoes a little more exciting. I used Yams and it turned out delicious!
It is very yummy thanks for sharing the recipe!
It’s not very often everyone likes the same dish, but everyone loved this one. I didn’t have green onions so I just used regular ones. We will make this dish again for sure!
I wonder if this would be good woth ground chicken…
Yummy! Good recipe!
I Really like this recipe. I added broccoli to make it a more roynded meal
