Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil divided
1 teaspoon salt divided
1 teaspoon pepper divided
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix divided
5 medium Yukon gold or red-skinned potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups shredded cheese I like to use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack
4-6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
2 green onions diced
Optional (but highly recommended for serving: sour cream or prepared ranch dressing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Toss the potatoes with half of the olive oil, half of the salt and pepper and half of the seasoning mix (about 1.5 tablespoons is half) and spread in the baking dish; place in preheated oven.
While the potatoes cook (without disturbing), toss the chicken in the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and seasoning mix; let sit. After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss with the chicken.
Spread out evenly in the pan and return to the oven for another 20–25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are crisp.
Sprinkle the potatoes and chicken evenly with the cheese, crumbled bacon, and scallions and bake another 5–6 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or ranch dressing!
