**Ingredients:**
– 6-8 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cubed
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– Seasonings of your choice (e.g., 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
– 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
– 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
– 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish.
2. **Prepare the Potatoes and Chicken:**
– Peel and cube the russet potatoes and cube the boneless chicken breast. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. **Season the Potatoes and Chicken:**
– In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil with your choice of seasonings. Stir the olive oil mixture well.
4. **Coat the Potatoes and Chicken:**
– Pour the seasoned olive oil mixture over the potatoes and chicken cubes in the mixing bowl. Toss to ensure that the potatoes and chicken are evenly coated with the seasoned oil.
5. **Transfer to Casserole Dish:**
– Place the coated potato and chicken mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. **Bake:**
– Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Test the doneness of the potatoes by inserting a fork; they should be soft.
7. **Add Toppings:**
– Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Follow this by sprinkling the crumbled cooked bacon and sliced green onions over the cheese.
8. **Return to Oven:**
– Place the casserole back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are slightly golden.
