Loaded Barbeque Baked Potato and Chicken Casserole

I love Fall! It is a time for warm and inviting dinners full of comfort food.

I love a good loaded baked potato. Not always super healthy - but full of flavor and just fills you up. I love casseroles that I can either put in the oven or in the crockpot.

This recipe would be perfect for a crock pot - but last night I made it in the oven. I will put both methods below.

Loaded Barbeque Baked Potato and Chicken Casserole

3 medium golden potatoes ( I used golden or Yukon gold for flavor) - peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
2 Chicken Breasts - diced into 1 inch cubes
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of diced ham or Canadian bacon (I used deli honey ham last night and it was amazing)
1 cup of light cream
2 tbsp. of dried onion
1 tbsp. of garlic powder
2 tbsp. of dried chives or 1/3 cup of fresh chives
1/3 cup of barbeque sauce

Heat oven to 425 degrees

In a deep medium baking dish (coated with olive oil) place diced potatoes and chicken. Distribute the 1 cup of light cream into baking dish. Sprinkle dried onion and garlic powder on top.

Put in oven for 30 minutes at 425 - stir half way.

Turn oven down to 400 degrees and add in 1/2 the barbeque sauce on top of potatoes and chicken. Cook for 30 minutes at 400 - sir half way.

Add Cheddar Cheese on top and drizzle with remaining barbeque sauce - sprinkle chives on top. Bake for 15 minutes until golden.

ENJOY!

Slow Cooker Variation:
place diced potatoes and chicken. Distribute the 1 cup of light cream into baking dish. Sprinkle dried onion and garlic powder on top.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
20 to 30 minutes before serving, add Cheddar Cheese on top and drizzle with remaining barbeque sauce - sprinkle chives on top.
