Chicken, potatoes, bacon, and more bake together in this incredible Loaded Chicken and Potato Casserole. Topped with loads of cheese, onions, and hot sauce for one flavor packed dish!
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!!

Chicken- boneless, skinless, diced
Potatoes- I use red potatoes and don’t peel them
Mayonnaise
Salt/Pepper
Paprika

Gloria says
Do you think this would work with boneless pork chops.
Kristin says
Sure! I don’t see why not! You may need to adjust the cook time a bit depending on the thickness of the pork chop, but other than that, should be great!
Ellie says
Oh! YUM! This was delicious! I read all the comments from 2016-now 😊. I added onion and used BBQ sauce instead of hot sauce. This will be served again for sure.
Kristin says
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!

I will try this recipe as soon as I get everything. I am going to cut the recipe in half as I will be the only one eating it. I will also substitute B B Q sauce for the hot sauce I sounds sooo good.
