    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 packet (2 tablespoons) dry ranch seasoning mix
    • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • For the Potatoes and Chicken:
    • 8 Russet potatoes (about 4 pounds), peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
    • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces
    • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
    • Sour cream, for serving
    • Additional buffalo sauce, for serving
    • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Buffalo Mixture

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, olive oil, ranch seasoning, and black pepper.

Step 3: Coat the Potatoes

  1. In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with half of the buffalo mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4: Roast the Potatoes

  1. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Roast for 60-70 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Step 5: Marinate the Chicken

  1. While the potatoes roast, toss the chicken pieces in the remaining buffalo mixture and let them marinate.

Step 6: Assemble and Bake

  1. Once the potatoes are done, lower the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Spread the marinated chicken evenly over the potatoes.
  4. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 7: Final Bake

  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  2. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with sour cream and extra buffalo sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • Spicy Version: Add more buffalo sauce or use a hotter variety for extra heat.

  • Add-ins: Mix in crispy bacon bits or sautéed onions for added texture.
