CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE WITH POTATOES

Cheesy, rich, smokey, and delicious are just a few words that come to my mind when trying to describe this chicken bacon ranch casserole with potatoes.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE WITH POTATOES

Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole With Potatoes

If you are a lover of potatoes like I am, you will love this recipe. Bacon adds smokiness for a mouthwatering experience.

The addition of ranch dressing gives you all the flavor you crave, with the ease of opening a bottle. No need to think of how to condiment it or look through your spice cabinet.

This is a no-nonsense, one, two, three kinds of dish packed full of flavor that the whole family will certainly enjoy.

  5. Meanwhile, mix chicken with ¼ cup ranch dressing and marinate while potatoes cook.

  7. Bake for 10 more minutes, uncovered until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE WITH POTATOES

I love this dish alongside a mixed greens salad with tomato wedges and red onion drizzled with dijon mustard vinaigrette.

CAN YOU FREEZE CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE WITH POTATOES?

You can cook the potatoes and the chicken, add the cheese, bacon, and green onions, cover the casserole with plastic wrap and freeze it until you are ready for the final bake.

I wouldn’t recommend you bake it the last time to melt the cheese.

Once you are ready to eat it, you can put it in the oven and bake it until the cheese is melted and everything is heated for about 30 minutes.

RECIPE TIPS:

  1. Remember to season the potatoes with salt and pepper, as well as the chicken. Do not rely solely on the ranch dressing for seasoning. It does need the extra punch.
  2. Try to cut the potatoes all the same size, as well as the chicken breast pieces to ensure even cooking
  3. Look for lean cuts of bacon and after cooking it, allow it to rest on paper towels to absorb any extra fat.
  4. If you want to make a variation on the chicken bacon ranch casserole with potatoes, you can add diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, sliced jalapenos for extra punch, or diced onions. Your imagination is the limit!

    This sounds very good and easy but here my issue with this that I’m hoping someone can help me with. I struggle putting raw chicken on top of partially cooked potatoes. Does this leave raw chicken juices in the dish? Do the potatoes turn out crispy or more of a steamed consistency? I prefer crispy.

      I just stumbled across this recipe and saw your comment. I, too, like crispy potatoes. What I do is cook the potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet on one side, the chicken on the other half. It might take two sheets as you don’t want food piled on each other so it will crisp up. When it’s all cooked I toss it together, top with cheese, cover with foil so the cheese melts, when ready to serve sprinkle scallions and crumbled bacon on it. This kept my potatoes crispy and not soggy with chicken juices.

    If I was to make this in a crockpot, how long would I cook for? Is there anything you would change?

      It is so quick to make it in the oven, I have never made it in the slow cooker, but you could try cooking the potatoes on low for 2 hours, then adding the chicken mixture and cooking it for another two hours. Then just add the cheese and continue cooking until melted.

    Can you freeze this before or after baking?

      I would recommend freezing this casserole after baking. Potatoes Can oxidize if left uncooked.

    Everyone loved it! In fact, it was gone before I could take a picture! I diced up a red bell pepper and some onion and added it to the chicken before adding it to the potatoes. I used seasoned salt for extra flavor. I also mixed up cheese- Colby Jack and regular cheddar.

    This was so quick and easy to make. It’s full of flavor and everything compliments each other. Dont forget to season your chicken and potatoes. I added sone garlic salt, salt and pepper with other seasonings. Whatever gives it a secret flavor, use it!! Thanks for the recipe. Will definitely make it again

    Love the ranch flavor. Can this recipe be used with boneless chicken thighs instead?
