It’s a pizza… it’s potatoes… it’s… it’s… Chicken Potato Pizza Bake! I was playing around this weekend trying to use up a few old potatoes, half a bag of shredded mozzarella, and an older pack of boneless chicken thighs from the freezer — and this combination turned into such a lovely all-in-one comfort food casserole that I just had to tell you guys about it.
See if your kids love this one as much as mine did! (I mean, what’s not to like: It’s basically pizza on top of some saucy chicken and potatoes, right?)
Chicken Potato Pizza Bake
Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 lbs potatoes, cubed
14.5 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Black pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
5 green onions, chopped
3 oz pepperoni slices, quartered
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut up the chicken and potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Add the fire roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic, and seasonings, then stir to combine.
Move the chicken and potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until potatoes are fairly tender, stirring halfway through.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir. Top everything with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, then arrange pepperoni and green onions evenly across the top.
Return to the oven and bake for another seven minutes to melt the cheese nicely. Broil on high for two minutes to brown slightly, then serve.
