4½ cups diced red potatoes

2½ cups diced boneless skinless chicken breast

2 cups broccoli florets

1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon

1/4 cup sliced onion

2 cups cheddar cheese grated

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

1 cup heavy cream (can sub half & half)

2 Tbs butter chopped

Grease 2 8×8 foil baking pans.

Divide ingredients in half – you are making 2 pans, so half of the ingredients goes in each pan.

In both pans, layer ingredients in this order: potatoes, chicken, broccoli, bacon, onion and cheese.

Season salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Repeat the layers and seasoning.

Pour heavy cream over ingredients and sprinkle butter pieces over the dish.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 for one hour or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.

Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake uncovered for 5-10 more minutes until cheese is bubbly.

Freezing Directions:

Assemble as directed above but do not bake. Make sure the potatoes are covered by other ingredients if possible (so they don’t blacken). Cover tightly with foil, label, and freeze. Freeze 1/2 cup cheddar with each dish.
