Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish 9x13 inches, greased
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Knife for dicing

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts boneless and skinless, diced
  • 3 cups potatoes diced
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and cube the potatoes for even cooking. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, sour cream, melted butter, and milk. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the diced chicken and potatoes to the bowl, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  • If using optional add-ins like bacon bits, green onions, or broccoli, sprinkle them over the cheese layer.
  • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

Serving

  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or chives, if desired.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure even cooking by cutting potatoes and chicken into similar sizes.
Ingredient Substitutions: Try swapping cheddar for Monterey Jack or adding jalapeños for heat.
How to Serve: Pair with a green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
Storage & Freshness: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
