Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 4 cups diced russet or Yukon gold potatoes
  • 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted melted butter
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss diced potatoes with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them on a sheet pan and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
  3. Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain and crumble.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, softened cream cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley until smooth.
  5. In a baking dish, layer roasted potatoes, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese. Pour the cream sauce evenly over the top.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.
  7. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top and serve warm.

Notes

[‘Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.’, ‘Taste the cream sauce before pouring to ensure seasoning is balanced.’, ‘Layer strategically: start with potatoes to soak up the cream sauce.’, ‘Prep ahead: assemble the casserole up to a day in advance and refrigerate.’]
