How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Toss the russet potato fries in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they’re well coated.
  • Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  • Season the diced chicken breast with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sizzle the bacon until crispy, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  • Once the fries are done, layer the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon on top.
  • Drizzle ranch dressing over the loaded fries.
  • Scatter shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the dish.
  • Return the fries to the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle sliced green onions on top before serving.
  • Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
