Loaded Chicken and Potatoes

This dish was absolutely delicious. It is pretty easy to put together, it just takes a while to cook, so it's not really a last minute dinner idea. When I was putting all the spices in, I was thinking, wow, this is a lot of spices, but the flavor was really good. I only put in 1 tablespoon of hot sauce and I think it was perfect.

Source: Singing Through the Rain

1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cubed (1″)
6-8 medium skin on red potatoes, cut in 1/2″ cubes
1/3 c olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp paprika
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp hot sauce (more if you like it HOT) (I only put in 1 T)

Topping:
2 c fiesta blend cheese
1 c crumbled bacon
1 c diced green onion

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9X13″ baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Add the cubed potatoes and chicken and stir to coat. Carefully scoop the potatoes and chicken into the prepared baking dish..
Bake the potatoes and chicken for 55-60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until cooked through, crispy, and browned on the outside. While the potatoes are cooking, fry your bacon (about half a pound). Once the potatoes and chicken are fully cooked, remove from the oven. Top the cooked potatoes with the cheese, bacon, and green onion. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
