Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups (12 ounces) Grilled & Ready® Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast

  • 1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, 2-3 whole potatoes

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, unsalted

  • 6 ounces light spreadable Swiss cheese

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, diced

  • 1/4 cup green onion, sliced

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Peel potatoes and boil for 20-30 minutes or until tender when tested with fork. Drain and cool. Once cooled cut potatoes into 1" cubes and place into a 9"x13" baking dish.
  • While potatoes are cooking, heat cream and chicken stock in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce mixture by half, continuously whisking to prevent burning, this will take approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.
  • Top potatoes with chicken, bacon, jalapeño and cream mixture. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, stir and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Top with green onions.
