Buffalo Chicken Potato Casserole

This flavorful Buffalo Chicken Potato Casserole comes together easily and is always a family favorite dinner recipe!

Hi, you guys! It’s Cyndi from My Kitchen Craze bringing you a tasty dinner recipe with buffalo chicken flavor you’ll love.

I have a confession to make: I have a hard time making dinner every night. In fact, I think I only make dinner maybe 3 nights a week. Don’t judge me, OK?

I love to cook and bake, but it’s a known fact that if my hubby comes home before I’ve started dinner, I won’t cook that night. I don’t know why, but once he steps through that door, I want to hang out with him and chat about his day. It’s like a timer goes off and says “OK, your time in the kitchen is over, Cyndi.” Silly, huh?

This is why I like to have easy recipes on the weeknights like this buffalo chicken casserole I can whip up quickly and pop in the oven.

It’s actually funny how busy I am, and I don’t work out of the house. I look up to women that work out of the home and manage a home. You’re seriously my idol.

Let me give you a little glimpse into one of my days when the kids are in school. Let’s pick Monday for instance:

• 7am- Drop my son off to school
• 9am – Drop my daughter off to school
• 9:30-1:30 – Eat breakfast, work on creating recipes, cooking/baking other recipes, taking pictures and/or videos of said recipe, social media, preparing for the next post/recipe, and other odds and ends for the blog
• 1:30-2:30 – Try to workout, then have a smoothie or lunch
• 2:30-3:30 – Pick up the kiddos from school
• 3:30-5:30 – This is the time I need to utilize to make dinner, but something always gets in the way like grocery shopping, baths, homework, and/or finishing up editing pictures for the next blog post. Also, this is normally the time the hubsters starts walking through that door.
• 5:30-8:00 – Son has soccer practice, so I try to get other grocery shopping done or just hang out with hubby and daughter while we wait.
• 8:00-10:00 – Coffee/dessert and unwinding time. Then it’s time to go to bed and do it all over again in the am.

There you have it. That’s my day in a nut shell. It’s not that crazy every day, but I’ve gotta tell you it sure feels like it!

If we want to eat in Monday thru Friday, then I HAVE to make something quick and easy. I love casseroles because you literally throw everything in a pan and bake it. 30-45 minutes later, voila! You have a gorgeous, delicious meal. This casserole is one of those meals. Super simple and delicious! Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray or grease with butter.
2. In a large bowl, add olive oil, hot sauces, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Mix well. Add potatoes and coat evenly.
3. Scoop potatoes into prepared baking dish, leaving some of the olive oil mixture in the large bowl.
4. Bake potatoes 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
5. While the potatoes are cooking, add diced chicken to the large bowl with the leftover olive oil mixture. Let chicken marinate while the potatoes are roasting.
6. Once the potatoes are crispy, remove from oven and place on the stove. Lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
7. Place uncooked chicken on top of roasted potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
8. A few minutes before the chicken is done, add the topping ingredients except the ranch dressing to a bowl, and mix well.
9. Once the chicken is cooked through, sprinkle the topping mixture on top and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Drizzle ranch dressing over casserole and serve.
