Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup chopped green onions

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
