  • 2 cups peeled and diced russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Chicken Casserole

  • 12 cups boneless skinless chicken uncooked and cubed
  • 6 slices uncooked bacon cut into 1/2" pieces
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup half and half

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt until well-coated. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes. Flip and roast for an additional 10 minutes until the potatoes are golden and tender. Set aside.

  • In a 10" or larger ovenproof skillet, combine the cubed chicken, bacon, and diced onion. Season with paprika, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the bacon is crispy, the onion is tender, and the chicken is no longer pink.
