Loaded Potato and Chicken Casserole

2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, raw, cubed 1"*
8-10 medium red potatoes, cut in 1/2" cubes
1/3 c. olive oil
1 1/2 t. salt
1 T. black pepper
1 T. paprika
2 T. garlic powder
6 T. hot sauce
2 c. Mexican blend cheese
1 c. crumbled bacon, or bacon bits
1 c. diced green onion

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Spray a 9x13 dish. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, all seasonings, and hot sauce. Add cubed potatoes. Stir to coat. Carefully scoop into prepared dish, leaving behind as much of the oil/sauce mixture as possible. Place chicken cubes in this mixture to marinate in refrigerator. Bake potatoes for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until cooked through and crispy. Once fully cooked, remove from oven, & lower the oven temp to 400 degrees. Top the potatoes with the marinated chicken.  Combine cheese, bacon, and green onion. Pour over chicken. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and topping is bubbly. Delicious! Serve with a tossed salad for a complete meal.

*may substitute cubed ham
