BBQ Chicken Casserole

This recipe called for Buffalo sauce and it's supposed to be called Buffalo Chicken Casserole, but we're not a fan of spicy and hot stuff and boy when I first tried the Buffalo Chicken Casserole, I had heart burn so bad and my mouth was on fire! It's sad when both TC and I had a glass of milk with our meal and took a gulp with every bite of that casserole lol so I changed it to BBQ sauce and it's SO good! TC requests that once a week lol :)

BBQ/Buffalo Chicken Casserole:

Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 package bacon bits (or packaged raw bacon. I just don't like all that grease so I use bacon bits lol)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 1 bag baby gold potatoes (quartered)
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions (or just a regular or sweet onion)
- 1/2 cup French-fried onions (the stuff you put on green bean casserole for anyone who didn't know what those were lol)
- 1/2 bottle BBQ sauce (or a 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce)
- 1/2 cup ranch (I don't put that much ranch in mine. I put maybe 2 tablespoons and then let TC put more on his if he wants)
- Chives (I didn't measure lol)

Directions:
- Preheat over to 400 degrees
- Cut potatoes in quarters
- Microwave potatoes for about 2.5 minutes where they're almost done but not quite since you want them to cut the rest of the way in the oven where they don't become burnt and shriveled
- Cut raw chicken into small cubes
- Slice green onion or chopped regular/sweet onion
- Put potatoes, raw chicken, onion, BBQ sauce (or Buffalo sauce) and ranch dressing in a Tupperware container that has a lid
- Shake Tupperware to evenly coat everything with the BBQ sauce (or Buffalo sauce)
- Spread mixture in a baking dish
- Bake for 25-30 minutes
- If you're using packaged raw bacon, cook bacon
- The last 5 minutes of baking the chicken/potato mixture, top with bacon bits (or cooked bacon), French-fried onions, chives and cheese.
- Bake for those last 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the French-fried onions are golden

We really love this recipe! So good! Hope y'all enjoy and let me know how y'all like it :)
