It would have been very tasty if the potatoes hadn't burned. 500 degrees is not necessary. I didn't even bake it the full 45 minutes. The oven was so hot that I shut it off before I added the chicken and toppings and they still were done in 9 minutes. I'll make this again but I'll be baking it at 375. -
Awesome! I made it the first time like the directions said and some of the potatoes burnt (I have a strong oven though) tonight I decided to make it again but in the crockpot! I just mixed the "sauce" and put in the potatoes like it said, added those to the bottom of the crockpot, added a bit of olive oil to the remaining sauce, mixed in the chicken, and layer it on top of the potatoes. Set on low for a few hours and high for the last 1-2 hours. Delish!! Oh, and we didn't use hot sauce, due to the little one :) Love this!

No, 500 degrees is not a typo, as several people have asked in the Q & A forum. See original recipe at http://www.quickneasyrecipes.net/loaded-baked-potato-chicken-casserole/ -
I also made this dish, with a couple tweak's. First instead of fresh potatoes I used a bag of frozen seasoned potato wedges, at 400° and baked my bacon while the potatoes cooked per package. Since my potatoes were already seasoned I didn't use the sauce on them, instead I got them crispy. I used what I had on hand which was four chicken breast cut in cubes cooked in the bacon grease and then tossed in the seasoning sauce with 1/2 package? of ranch, I left out the salt. I also steamed fresh broccoli and tossed it in the remaining sauce. Then I layered the broccoli on top of the potatoes, the chicken on top of the broccoli, shredded eight ounces of Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos on top of that and the bacon. I didn't have green onions but I cut up a sweet onion and added on top the raw onions. Sour cream would have been nice but I didn't have any so a little ranch sufficed?. Super Yummy -

Very good recipe, but I had to make a few adjustments. First I doubled the oil to 2/3 cup to have enough for both potatoes and chicken. I sauted my chicken in the bacon grease for about 5-7 minutes so they would be done when cooked in the oven. 15 minutes isn't long enough for the chicken to be well done. And lastley I added the green onions after cooking to add a fresh element. After these few minor changes this recipe was very delicious and a big hit. Definitely will make again.

I love the recipe the only things i did differently was temp down to 350 ...500 seemed way too high to begin with.... and next time i would recommend less salt.... the bacon and cheese give it enough salt as it is ....mine came out a little too salty for my taste but next time i will try with less salt and see how it turns out :)

So I tweaked this recipe a little bit. Added homegrown habanero pepper, bowtie noodles, mozzarella cheese and secret seasonings ^_^. Defiantly has a kick! Absolutely delicious. -

My boys love this recipe! I tweak it by making the Buffalo chicken dip and adding into the potatoes bacon and chicken. Adding sour cream cream cheese and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Added a pack of Hidden Valley ranch seasoning ... and decreased the hot sauce by half.
