Ingredients
- 6 cups russet potatoes scrubbed and cut into ½-inch pieces (from about 5 medium potatoes)
- 8 ounces bacon
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 Tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup green onion sliced thin (both green & white parts)
FOR GARNISH:
- sour cream
- Sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 9x13-inch pan (or other 3 quart pan) with nonstick cooking spray. Add potatoes to pan. In a small bowl add butter, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined. Pour butter mixture over potatoes and toss until potatoes are evenly coated. Cook potatoes for 45-50 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- WHILE POTATOES ARE IN OVEN: Cut bacon into 1-inch pieces. Cook in large skillet over medium heat until done, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Leave all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in skillet. Cook chicken pieces on medium heat until fully cooked, about 8 minutes.
- Remove potatoes from oven, and turn off oven. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese evenly over potatoes. Then layer chicken, bacon, and green onions on top. Sprinkle remaining cheese and return to oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Serve with sour cream and green onion.

Hi Jillian!
I’d love to include your chicken casserole in a casserole round up I’m doing for Parade Magazine.
If you’re fine with that, could I use one of your gorgeous photos with a link back to your original post (https://foodfolksandfun.net/2015/09/loaded-baked-potato-casserole/)?
Thanks so much!

Made this tonight and my family gobbled it up! My husband told me to add it to our regular rotation and even my littles (3 & 1 yrs) ate their whole serving! Thanks for the delicious recipe!
Jillian says
I am SO glad you and your family liked it. It’s a family favorite at my house, too!

I made this tonight for us , family of 5. This is sooooooo good!! The only thing I did differently was I boiled my potatoes, cut them up, and fried them in the bacon fat with a spoon of garlic and one yellow onion and black pepper. Then did as told and casseroled it all up excluding the green onion. Layers with cheddar cheese , bacon and sour cream.. there is none left.. lol ty so much for this idea !
Jillian says
I’m so glad this dish was a hit for you! 🙂

Question for you – (haven’t made it yet) – looking for a recipe that can be frozen and then baked. Have you tried this frozen and then baked? (Group hiking trip – need to feed 5 hungry people!) Should any changes to the recipe be made? Thank you!
Jillian says
Hi LeeAnne,
I have not tried freezing this recipe yet. BUT, by looking at the ingredients I can tell that it will freeze well. The bacon might be a little chewy though. You’ll need to increase the baking time by about 10-15 minutes if baking it from the frozen state. Enjoy and have a great hike!
