Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Mixture

  • ¼ cup (64 g) buffalo sauce

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 packet (2 tbsp) dry ranch seasoning mix

  • 2 tsp ground black pepper

Potatoes

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

Chicken

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

Toppings

  • 1 cup (113 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 1 cup (113 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

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

  • Sour cream, for serving

  • Extra buffalo sauce, for serving

  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven

Preheat the 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 the buffalo sauce, olive oil, ranch seasoning, and pepper. Set aside.

3. Roast the Potatoes

  • Place the diced potatoes into a large bowl.

  • Add half of the buffalo mixture and toss to coat.

  • Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the sheet pan.

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

4. Marinate the Chicken

  • Add the chicken pieces to a resealable bag.

  • Pour in the remaining buffalo mixture and seal the bag.

  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes while the potatoes finish cooking.

5. Assemble the Bake

  • Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Add the roasted potatoes to the dish.

  • Spread the marinated chicken on top.

6. Bake

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

7. Add Cheese & Bacon

  • Sprinkle cheddar, Monterey Jack, and crumbled bacon evenly over the top.

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

8. Serve

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

Notes

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

  • Let the chicken marinate at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor.

  • Use pre-cooked bacon for convenience (or air fry it while the potatoes bake).

  • Make it mild or spicy: choose your favorite buffalo sauce heat level.

  • Meal prep idea: leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
