Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries
These LOADED chicken bacon ranch fries get a healthy twist thanks to homemade baked fries and Greek yogurt ranch. A perfect weeknight dinner.
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Total: 45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon cooked*
- 2 medium russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken** about 4 ounces
- ½ cup Skinny Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip
- ¼ cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- Fresh chopped chives
Instructions
- Cook the bacon (try one of my easy cooking methods listed below). When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel and cut the potatoes. Place in a large bowl, then toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and cayenne.
- Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray, then spread the fries onto the sheet in a single layer. Bake 15 minutes, flip with a spatula, then bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly crisp.
- While the fries are baking, heat the ranch dip in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, just until warm. Toss with chicken to coat.
- Remove fries from oven and top with the chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, and bacon. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
- *Easy bacon cooking methods: Air Fryer Bacon and Oven Baked Bacon.
- **To cook the chicken in the Instant Pot instead, see this post for Instant Pot Chicken. To make it in a slow cooker, use this post for Crock Pot Shredded Chicken. To make the chicken in the oven, see this post for Baked Chicken Breast.
- TO STORE: Fries are best eaten the day that they are served. However, leftovers may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container.
- TO REHEAT: For best results, warm the fries in a preheated 425 degree F oven until crisp and heated through.
