Provided by á-41955

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 - 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
(about 1.5 lbs. or 4 1/2 cups)
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp, cooled and crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, sliced (green parts only)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9" x 9" baking pan or casserole dish. Spread half of the diced potatoes in bottom of pan. Place the diced chicken breasts evenly on top. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Sprinkle with half the bacon crumbles, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and half the green onions. Spread the remaining diced potatoes on top, followed by the remaining bacon, another 1/2 cup cheese, remaining green onions and another 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour heavy cream over top of casserole and then dot with the butter. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover and bake another 30 minutes. In the last few minutes of baking, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and bake until melted. Serve.

Tips:

  • For a crispy potato topping, use a combination of shredded and mashed potatoes. The shredded potatoes will crisp up in the oven, while the mashed potatoes will help to bind the casserole together.
  • Don't be afraid to load up your casserole with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, and jalapeños.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made rotisserie chicken. Just shred the chicken and add it to the casserole.
  • Serve the casserole hot out of the oven. It's also delicious the next day, so you can make it ahead of time for a quick and easy meal.
