Creamy comfort food made into a complete meal - delicious! I like chicken thighs as they remain moist during oven baking. This reheats beautifully and can be made ahead. Note - you can add mushrooms when you are frying the bacon if you are a fan of them.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use a starchy potato, such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape better than other varieties when baked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut too large, they may not cook all the way through.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes so that they can cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Use a good quality bacon: The bacon is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will give the potatoes a nice smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy.
