For the Chicken & Bacon:
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 slices Bacon thick-cut, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 0.125 tsp Black pepper or to taste
For Garnish (Optional):
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowls
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

1. Preheat & Prepare Potatoes:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped potatoes, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
2. Prepare Chicken & Bacon:
  1. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss until chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Add the chopped bacon pieces to the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine.
3. Assemble and Roast:
  1. Arrange the chicken and bacon mixture in a single layer on the other half of the baking sheet, next to the potatoes. Ensure both are spread out evenly for optimal roasting.
  2. Roast for 20 minutes.
4. Toss & Continue Roasting:
  1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully toss both the potatoes and the chicken/bacon mixture to ensure even cooking and browning.
  2. Return to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C), and bacon is crispy.
5. Serve:
  1. Once cooked, remove from oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
  2. Serve hot and enjoy your Hearty Chicken Bacon Roasted Potato Bake!

Notes

For crispier bacon, you can pre-cook it partially before adding it to the sheet pan. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli florets during the last 15-20 minutes of roasting. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
