Description
Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries Skillet is a comforting dish that combines crispy fries, savory chicken, and decadent cheese in one skillet, perfect for quick weeknight meals or game day festivities.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cup frozen French fries
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoon chopped green onions
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken along with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and is fully cooked, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the frozen French fries according to the package instructions.
- Once your fries are crispy and the chicken is ready, add the cooked chicken to the skillet with the fries and toss gently to mix everything together.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon generously over the chicken and fries. Cover the skillet with a lid to trap heat and aid in melting the cheese. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is wonderfully gooey.
- Once the cheese is melted to your liking, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle ranch dressing all over the top.
- Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve this Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries Skillet hot.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using sweet potato fries or reducing the cheese amount.
