I get so many requests for this yummy recipe! My loaded chicken and potatoes recipe is a quick and easy meal the whole family will love!
Loaded chicken is a delicious meal you can quickly make on a busy week night. To make it a little quicker you can use pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits. The flavor of the cheese, bacon and green onion is delicious over the chicken and potatoes. You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference or you can also replace it with barbecue sauce. Either way it’s so good, it’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
If you have any left the next day it is great for leftovers, but I’m betting it will be gone, it’s just thatgood!
If you are doing low carb you can replace the potatoes with cauliflower and make it loaded chicken with cauliflower. I’ve done it both ways and I love the cauliflower version as well.
was a huge success at my house! Everyone in my house loved it and had seconds even one of them wanted thirds. This one dish meal is packed full of savory taste. While cooking in the oven the aroma that filled the house had all of our mouths watering and we could not wait for it to be done. This recipe was also very simple to make!
