Ingredients
  

Potato Base

  • 1.5 pounds red potatoes (firm texture, holds shape well)

Chicken

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (tender and juicy)

Bacon and Seasoning

  • 6 slices bacon (adds a smoky flavor and crunchy texture)
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning (provides a savory flavor)
  • 0.5 cup buffalo wing sauce (introduces a spicy kick)

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend) (melts to create a creamy layer)

Optional Toppings

  • green onions (for freshness)
  • sour cream (for creaminess)
  • ranch dressing (for extra flavor)

Additional Ingredients

  • cooking oil of choice (helps with browning and prevents sticking)
  • Kosher salt (enhances flavor)
  • pepper (adds mild heat)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add kosher salt.
  • Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, around 15-20 minutes.

Cooking Chicken

  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat with cooking oil.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until nicely browned and cooked through, 7-10 minutes per side.

Bacon and Mixing

  • Remove chicken from skillet, rest for a few minutes, then chop or shred.
  • Cook bacon in the same skillet until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, then chop into small pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked potatoes, chopped chicken, bacon, ranch seasoning, and buffalo sauce. Stir to coat evenly.

Broiling

  • Preheat oven to a high broil.
  • Transfer mixture to a baking sheet, spread evenly, and top with shredded cheese.
  • Broil until cheese is golden and bubbly, keeping a close eye.

Serving

  • Serve hot with optional toppings like green onions, sour cream, or ranch dressing.

Notes

Be sure to cut potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking. Don’t skip the resting period for the chicken; this keeps it juicy. Adjust buffalo sauce based on heat preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
