instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large pot, add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Once done, drain and let them cool slightly before dicing.

    3

    While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and let it cool on a paper towel, then crumble into pieces.

    4

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken (cubed or shredded), cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    5

    In a large casserole dish, layer the diced potatoes, chicken mixture, half of the cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

    6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    7

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.

    8

    Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
