Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat recommended
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cook the bacon until crispy, crumble it, and set aside.
  3. Dice the chicken into uniform bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Peel and dice the potatoes into half-inch cubes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream and cream of chicken soup until smooth, then add half of each cheese variety.
  6. Add the diced potatoes and chicken to the creamy mixture, folding everything together gently but thoroughly.
  7. Stir in half of the crumbled bacon and half of the green onions, ensuring even coating.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spread evenly, and drizzle melted butter over the top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes covered, then remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  10. Remove from the oven, top with remaining bacon and green onions, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure uniform sizes for chicken and potatoes for even cooking. Let the casserole rest after baking to firm up. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.
