Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Toss diced medium potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly in the greased baking dish.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, mix raw chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces) with ranch dressing until fully coated.
  5. After roasting, layer the chicken mixture over the potatoes in the baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle chopped cooked bacon over the chicken layer, followed by shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions before serving.
