Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes until potatoes start to soften.
  4. While potatoes bake, combine the cubed chicken with ranch seasoning in a separate bowl, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. In another bowl, mix together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth and well combined.
  6. Remove potatoes from oven and spread the seasoned chicken over the potatoes. Pour the creamy sauce mixture over everything.
  7. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, covering the entire dish evenly.
  8. Return to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives.

Notes

Cut potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes for even cooking, don't overcook chicken, add extra milk if sauce is too thick, can assemble casserole up to a day in advance and refrigerate
