Buffalo Chicken & Potato Casserole Recipe

When it comes to family dinner recipes, this Buffalo Chicken & Potato Casserole is one of my favorites.

Diced potatoes and chunks of chicken are tossed in a buffalo ranch sauce and then baked until tender and juicy.

Then once it comes out of the oven it is topped with shredded cheese, bacon crumbles and green onions. You can serve it with a side salad, applesauce, or make it a stand alone meal.

It is the perfect weeknight dinner recipe that will satisfy everyone!

Buffalo Chicken & Potato Casserole

INGREDIENTS

Yukon gold potatoes
Chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
Salt
Ground black pepper
Buffalo wing sauce
Ranch dressing
Fiesta Cheese Blend
Bacon Crumbles
Green onions

INSTRUCTIONS

The first step in making this Buffalo Chicken & Potato casserole is to preheat the oven and then spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Then measure a piece of aluminum foil so that it covers the baking dish. Then set both the pan and the foil aside.

Next, prepare the potatoes. Wash, scrub, and dry the potatoes and then cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin intact.

Put the potatoes in a large bowl and then add salt and pepper to taste. Then pour 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce and 1/4 cup Ranch dressing over the potatoes. Toss to coat.

Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss them in Buffalo and Ranch sauce.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes into the prepared baking dish. Be sure to leave whatever wet ingredients in the bowl as this will be used later to coat the chicken.

Place the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chicken.

Prepare The Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Then transfer the chicken to the mixing bowl that you used for the potatoes.

Sprinkle the chicken with salt & pepper to taste. Then add the remaining 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce and 1/4 cup Ranch dressing over the chicken. Toss to coat.

Once the potatoes have cooked for 30 minutes and have become cooked enough to be just fork tender, remove the baking dish from the oven. Then decrease the temperature to 400°F (205°C).

Scoop the marinated chicken pieces on top of the cooked potatoes. Using oven mitts, cover the baking dish with prepared aluminum foil top.

Place the baking dish back in the oven and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Place the Buffalo Chicken & Potato Casserole back in oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Serve warm.

Store any leftovers in a covered dish in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
