  • 1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 10 whole Medium Potatoes, Cut Into 1/2-inch Cubes (I Leave The Skin On)
  • 2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1/2-inch Cubes
  • 2 cups Fiesta Blend Cheese Or A Mix Of Cheddar & Monterey Jack
  • 1 cup Diced Green Onion

Method

  • Preheat oven to 500 F. This is not a typo, 500 F is correct!
  • Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick baking spray and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and hot sauce.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and stir to coat.
  • Carefully scoop the potatoes into the prepared baking dish, leaving behind as much of the olive oil/hot sauce mix as possible.
  • Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until cooked through and crispy and browned on the outside.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the leftover olive oil/hot sauce mix and stir to coat.
  • Put it into the refrigerator to marinate until the potatoes are ready.
  • Once the potatoes are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400 F. Top the cooked potatoes with the raw marinated chicken.
  • In a bowl mix together the cheese, bacon and green onion and top the raw chicken with the cheese mix.
  • Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is bubbly delicious.
  • Serve with extra hot sauce and/or ranch dressing.
  • Enjoy!
