Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, cubed chicken, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potato and chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the melted butter over the top.
  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. While the casserole bakes, mix together the sour cream and milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top, then sprinkle with both cheeses.
  7. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Top with crumbled beef bacon and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For the creamiest results, use full-fat sour cream and don't skip the resting time after baking. Can be prepared ahead by assembling everything except the final cheese topping and refrigerating for up to 24 hours.
