Loaded Chicken and Potatoes Casserole was a huge success at my house! Everyone in my house loved it and had seconds even one of them wanted thirds. This one dish meal is packed full of savory taste. While cooking in the oven the aroma that filled the house had all of our mouths watering and we could not wait for it to be ready for dinner. This recipe was also very simple to make! You could easily adapt it for the grill by placing it in a foil packet or even to the crock pot too.
I would suggest serving this with a loaf of french bread and a nice side salad to complement. This is an easy dinner recipe that is soon to be a family favorite at our house. If you do not like spicy food you can easily reduce the amount of hot sauce you use. If you like spicy then feel free to increase. We are not huge fans of spicy food at our house and we all enjoyed this easy Loaded Chicken and Potatoes Casserole. I hope your family will give it a try! You will be happy you did!
Best of all it is a one dish meal that the whole family will love! It is always a crowd pleaser when I serve this at parties or special occasions! My hubby loves it on game day!

July 8, 2018 at 12:02 pmI made this for supper and LOVED IT!!! I added fresh mushrooms, green pepper & celery. I also added some of the bacon grease to the oil, and medium cheddar cheese rather than Mexican cheese. The whole family loved it?
Michelle
July 10, 2018 at 3:10 pmMy family loves this casserole! Do you happen to know if there is any way it can be prepped the night before baking? I’m looking at doing this for a larger crowd and would need to do some prep ahead of time and am wondering if the potatoes would turn brown or black if it was prepped and refrigerated. Thanks for any advice!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 15, 2018 at 4:53 pmYou can go ahead and make it and bake and then just re-heat 🙂

July 14, 2018 at 6:49 pmMade this for dinner tonight and YUM! I cooked some frozen broccoli and added it in at the end with the cheese, bacon and green onion and it was so good! New weeknight staple. Kid approved!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 15, 2018 at 4:49 pmYum! That sounds delicious!

July 24, 2018 at 11:00 amCan you use yellow potatoes instead of red or Idaho potatoes?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 24, 2018 at 2:43 pmYes! They may cook a little quicker though.
Amy
July 24, 2018 at 12:09 pmMy husband actually wanted leftovers the next night, but we didn’t have enough left.
Favorite and inexpensive.
Jordan
July 25, 2018 at 1:11 pmMade this for dinner and it was a huge hit. I didn’t ave any bacon so I used bacon bits (won’t do this again as it lacked flavor from this alone), I didn’t have any shredded cheese other than mozzarella, but it worked perfectly. This will be a new staple in our house. Easy to make and amazingly good, especially with sour cream.

July 25, 2018 at 3:32 pmHow long would you cook this meal (chicken and potatoes) in a crockpot? Or, could you marinate the chicken and potatoes in the morning and bake at night?
Thanks!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
July 26, 2018 at 3:43 pmSure you can! Just adapt similar to this recipe.

August 23, 2018 at 7:27 pmTotally awesome.. Will make again. Family loved it and adding ranch dressing really topped it off.
Jen
September 8, 2018 at 7:13 pmThis was delicious. I played around with the ingredients and subbed out half of the hot sauce for worchestire sauce and omg did it ever add another level of flavor. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Caroline
September 26, 2018 at 10:53 pmThis came out great! I didn’t have Mexican blend cheese and used Colby and pepper Jack, and Mozzarella and didn’t put hot sauce bec6my kids don’t like it. I kept all the rest of the ingredients the same and it’s a winner for my family! Thank you!
Angie
September 27, 2018 at 6:56 amThis was delicious!!! I added a packet of taco seasoning…. the kids said it was the best thing they’ve ever had.

January 16, 2019 at 9:54 amHaven’t tried this yet but wanted to know if the cheese, bacon and onions get added before cooking like in the video or should I follow the written instructions and add them near the end?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
January 18, 2019 at 9:57 amAt the end is how I prepared as written.
Eileen
March 23, 2019 at 8:53 amHow would I make this ahead of time to freeze? Should I bake it first and and then freeze, do you think? I want to make it for a family in crisis, to have in their freezer when needed. Thanks
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
April 9, 2019 at 12:32 pmI would make it and bake it and then freeze it. So the potatoes don’t brown.
