Crispy potatoes layered with chicken, turkey bacon, cheddar, and creamy ranch for a hearty, satisfying meal.

# List of Ingredients:

→ For the Chicken and Potatoes

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
02 - 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 12 ounces turkey bacon, chopped

→ For the Seasoning

04 - 4 teaspoons seasoned salt, divided use
05 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning

→ For the Topping

07 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
08 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Peel and dice the russet potatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Rinse thoroughly under cold water using a colander, then pat completely dry with paper towels and place in a mixing bowl.
02 - Trim and dice the chicken breasts into small pieces. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with 3 teaspoons of seasoned salt. Toss well to ensure even coating.
03 - Place seasoned potatoes in an air fryer set to 400°F. Cook for 20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes until golden brown and tender.
04 - Add chopped turkey bacon to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté for 10–12 minutes until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
05 - In the same skillet, add diced chicken breasts. Sauté for 7–8 minutes, stirring as needed, until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F. Drain any excess grease and season with 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and the ranch seasoning.
06 - Add crispy potatoes and cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in half of the turkey bacon and 1/2 cup ranch dressing until thoroughly combined. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and scatter remaining turkey bacon over the surface.
07 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 10–15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Drizzle with additional ranch dressing if desired before serving.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Ensure potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking and maximum crispness.
02 - Shred cheddar cheese fresh for optimal melt and flavor.
03 - Let the finished dish rest briefly before serving to allow ingredients to set.
04 - Maintain chicken internal temperature at 165°F for food safety.
05 - For an alternative texture, roast potatoes in a hot oven rather than air-fryer.
