Begin by boiling the potatoes in a large pot until they achieve a tender consistency. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
-
Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic blend, and smoked paprika. Stir thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
-
Proceed to cook the chicken. If using an air fryer, set it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for approximately 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, whole milk, and Ranch dressing seasoning mix. Whisk together until the dressing is smooth.
-
Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly. Mix the cooked potatoes, seasoned chicken, and prepared dressing in the dish, ensuring even distribution.
-
Sprinkle the grated Sharp cheddar and Smoked gouda cheeses over the top of the mixture in the baking dish.
-
Place the dish in a preheated oven and bake at a suitable temperature for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is slightly golden.
-
Once baked, remove from the oven and top with the cooked, crumbled bacon.
-
If desired, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
