Ingredients
- The Protein: 1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- The Base: 3–4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), cubed.
- The Flavor:
- 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce.
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- The Toppings:
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbles.

Instructions
- Roast the Potatoes: Toss the cubed potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until golden and tender.
- Cook the Chicken: While potatoes roast, sauté the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly browned on the edges.
- Combine: Mix the roasted potatoes and cooked chicken together in a baking dish. Pour the BBQ sauce over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Add the Goodies: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese and the crispy bacon crumbles over the chicken and potato mixture.
- Melt: Return the dish to the oven for 5–8 minutes (or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling).
- Serve: Serve hot directly from the pan for the ultimate comfort meal.
