📝 Ingredients
2 lbs russet potatoes, diced

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt & pepper to taste

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

2–3 green onions, sliced

Optional: sour cream for serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Season the Chicken and Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes and chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

3. Bake the Base
Transfer the chicken and potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45–50 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

4. Add the Toppings
Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the top. Return to oven (uncovered) and bake for 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from oven and top with sliced green onions. Serve hot with sour cream on the side if desired.

🔄 Variations & Add-Ins
Add veggies: Broccoli, bell peppers, or spinach make it even more nutritious.

Spice it up: Add jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for heat.

Switch the cheese: Try pepper jack, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack for variety.
