Notes

  • Potatoes: Use russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture.
  • Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used for extra juiciness.
  • Extra Crispy Potatoes: Bake them for an extra 5 minutes before adding the chicken.
  • Cheese: Feel free to swap in pepper jack or Colby cheese for a different flavor.
  • Make It Spicier: Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the seasoning mix.
  • Buffalo Ranch Chicken Casserole: Drizzle buffalo sauce over the casserole before serving.
  • BBQ Chicken Casserole: Swap ranch seasoning for BBQ sauce for a smoky twist.
  • Loaded Veggie Casserole: Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli for extra veggies.
  • Low-Carb Version: Use cauliflower instead of potatoes.
  • Creamy Ranch Chicken Casserole: Stir in ½ cup of sour cream before baking for an extra creamy texture.
