Loaded Chicken and Potato Casserole
As of a few months ago, I have been trying to venture out more with my recipes, and not make as many casseroles. Our lives haven’t been as crazy busy since we moved, so I have had more time to cook each night.
Last week however, I came across a version of this casserole on Pinterest and knew I had to try it. After making a few changes based on what I had in my house, I served this for dinner and the entire family loved it. This was probably one of the most flavorful casseroles I have ever tried. Even my kiddos ate it up…. and trust me, they are 3 picky eaters!
Seasoned chicken and potatoes baked together, then topped with cheese, bacon and green onions. It is so delicious and packed with flavor!
I paired this casserole with a salad and had dinner on the table in no time! Since it has both potatoes and meat in it, add a veggie or salad and dinner is ready to go!!
This would also be a great idea to make when having company over or if you are bringing a meal to a friend/family!!
