Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway, until they are golden and tender.
Meanwhile, season the diced chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Layer the cooked chicken over the potatoes.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and crumbled bacon evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with green onions and fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with sour cream on the side.

Notes

You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a juicier texture.
For a spicier version, add jalapeños or sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
