Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
  • 32 ounces frozen diced potatoes I use the small diced frozen breakfast potatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 12 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 stalks green onions sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken and potatoes. Toss to mix.
  • In a small bowl combine the oil, buffalo sauce, and spices. Mix and pour over chicken and potatoes and toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle with chopped bacon and top with shredded cheese.
  • Cover and bake at 350F for 25 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked chicken like a rotisserie or shredded/cubed chicken. Don't use raw chicken.
  • Break the frozen potatoes apart before mixing with sauce to avoid clumps.
  • Don't thaw the potatoes before using or they can get very mushy.
  • Make your own buffalo sauce or wing sauce by mixing equal parts butter and hot sauce.
  • Spray the underside of the foil with cooking spray before putting it over the casserole so the cheese doesn’t stick to it.
  • Serve with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream to cool off sauce.
  • Substitute cooked sweet potatoes if desired.
