Chicken + Potatoes + Cheese + Bacon…it’s the perfect ‘quad-fecta’…because trifecta doesn’t work here. Top with some green onions and/or sour cream and you’re in potato heaven. Except these are baked potatoes.
This is yet another really simple ‘load and roast’ dish that comes together easily, and makes for a great filling weeknight dinner…as long as you get it in the oven in time to cook for an hour. 🙂
It looks like this…
Add the chicken pieces, potatoes and spices together in the baking dish.
Toss with the seasonings.
Roast about 45 minutes.
Cook the bacon, separately.
Add the cheese over top and cook a few more minutes.
Then top with the bacon. And other favorite toppings like green onions, chives, sour cream, etc.
ENJOY!
