Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 packet (2 tbsp) dry ranch seasoning

  • 2 tsp ground black pepper

  • 8 Russet potatoes (about 4 lbs), peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces

  • 1 cup (113 g) shredded mild cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup (113 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 8–10 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • Sour cream, for serving

  • Additional buffalo sauce, for serving

  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Buffalo Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together:

  • buffalo sauce

  • olive oil

  • ranch seasoning

  • black pepper

Set aside.

3. Roast the Potatoes

  1. Place diced potatoes in a large bowl.

  2. Pour half of the buffalo mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat.

  3. Spread potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 60–70 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.

4. Marinate the Chicken

While the potatoes bake:

  1. Place chicken pieces in a resealable bag.

  2. Pour the remaining buffalo mixture into the bag.

  3. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until potatoes are done.

5. Assemble the Bake

  1. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Add the roasted potatoes to the dish.

  3. Top with the marinated chicken.

  4. Bake for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Add Cheese & Bacon

Remove from oven and sprinkle:

  • cheddar

  • Monterey Jack

  • crumbled bacon

Return to the oven for 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

7. Serve

Garnish with green onions and drizzle with sour cream and extra buffalo sauce.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly so they roast at the same speed.

  • For extra crispiness, pat potatoes dry before seasoning.

  • Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs for juicier bites.

  • Make it spicier by adding extra buffalo sauce or cayenne pepper.

  • Add veggies like bell peppers or onions when roasting the potatoes.
