👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, half the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly in the baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
3. While the potatoes bake, in the same bowl, combine chicken, remaining ranch seasoning, sour cream, mayonnaise, and 1 cup cheese.
4. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Add the chicken mixture on top, stir to combine, and smooth it out evenly.
5. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and bubbly. Broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden top if desired.
7. Garnish with green onions or chives before serving.
