This is probably one of my new favorite recipes but let me
tell you as much as I love it (and I do) it’s not figure friendly at all. I
would guess (estimate) about 600-800 calories per serving. Killer huh? For just
an occasional delicious meal I would say it’s worth a splurge. This is amazing.
The flavor is fantastic!
This is an easy recipe but it’s time consuming. Unless you
have the time to micromanage this recipe then don’t make it. The key to the
flavor is the making sure your potatoes are super brown. I think it could be awesome
with sweet potatoes too!!
I find that making this while I have other things to do in the
kitchen works best. This recipe is really worth the trouble and worth the
calories!!
Ingredients:
- 1 lbs. chicken breasts, cubed
- 1-1/2 pounds potatoes, cubed
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- Olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ pound bacon
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- In large bowl, mix olive oil (as needed), salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder.
- Add potatoes to bowl and mix well.
- To a large baking dish (9x13) line with parchment paper
- Add potatoes, allow for excess sauce in the remaining bowl.
- Add cubed chicken to bowl with leftover sauce and allow to marinate while potatoes bake.
- Bake potatoes for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. This will insure your potatoes brown for flavor
- While the potatoes are baking add sliced bacon to a pot and begin to fry. Cook for about 10 minutes then add the sliced onion, green peppers, and garlic and cook until the bacon is cooked through.
- Once the potatoes are done mix in the vegetables then bake another 15 minutes.
- Once potatoes are done, add the chicken then layer the cheese over the chicken.
- Bake for additional 15 minutes or until chicken is done and cheese is melted.
