Loaded Potato Ranch Chicken Casserole


Ingredients
  • 1 (1.5 lb) bag Baby Boomer Little Potatoes
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup prepared ranch dressing, divided use
  • 2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup diced green onion


Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450f.
  2. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Dice the Little Potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  4. In a large bowl mix together the diced potatoes, salt & pepper and 1/4 cup ranch dressing.
  5. Scoop the potatoes into prepared baking dish (save that bowl, we're going to use it again for the chicken.)
  6. Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until almost thoroughly cooked (they won't be fork tender quite yet.).
  7. While the potatoes are cooking, add the cubed chicken to the bowl you used to the potatoes and add salt and pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup ranch seasoning.
  8. Once the potatoes have cooked 30 minutes, remove baking dish from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400F.
  9. Top the cooked potatoes with the raw marinated chicken.
  10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (Warning: Baking dish will be VERY hot so use oven mitts to do this.)
  11. Place baking dish back in the oven and cook for an additional 20 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked.)
  12. Take baking dish out of the oven and top with shredded cheese, bacon and green onion.
  13. Place back in oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Ingredients 4 large eggs 2 1/4 cups milk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil good pinch of salt US Customary - Metric Instructions Place all ingredients in order as listed in a blender and blitz until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and blend again briefly until batter is lump-free. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but 2 is ideal. Place nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat* to preheat. Melt a little butter or oil in the bottom of the pan and swirl to coat. With the hot skillet in one hand and the batter in the other, slowly and steadily pour crepe batter into the center of the pan, tilting the skillet around to spread the batter evenly across the bottom in a very thin layer. It takes some practice but after 3 or 4 times, you can get consistently even crepes. After 10-15 seconds, the crepe batter shouldn't look shiny anymore, it should appear more matte and the bottom should be lightly browned. So,...
