Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cubed
  • 5-6 medium potatoes, peels and cubed
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 3-6 tbsp hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground pepper
  • 1-1/2 tsp salt
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled bacon
  • ½ cup diced green onion
  • optional: sour cream, ranch dressing or extra hot sauce for dipping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  2. TIP: I used my favourite method of making perfect bacon in the oven while I was preheating the oven.
  3. In a large bowl mix olive oil, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, ground pepper and salt. Add potato cubes and stir to coat.
  4. Place the potatoes in the baking dish, leaving the sauce behind. Bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, add the chicken cubes to the leftover sauce in the bowl, tossing to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the fridge while the potatoes are cooking.
  6. This is a good time to prep the toppings - chop the green onions, grate the cheddar and crumble the bacon.
  7. Lower the oven to 400°F, top potatoes with chicken, then the cheese, bacon and green onions. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. A thermometer inserted into the chicken should reach 170°F.
  8. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing or extra hot sauce.
