LOADED CHICKEN AND POTATOES
Loaded Chicken and Potatoes Casserole was a huge success at my house! Everyone in my house loved it and had seconds even one of them wanted thirds. This one dish meal is packed full of savory taste. While cooking in the oven the aroma that filled the house had all of our mouths watering and we could not wait for it to be ready for dinner. This recipe was also very simple to make! You could easily adapt it for the grill by placing it in a foil packet or even to the crock pot too.
