• 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) ranch dressing

• 3/4 cup (3 oz / 85 g) cheddar cheese, shredded

• 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of chicken soup

• 1/2 cup (2 oz / 55 g) panko bread crumbs or crushed Corn Flake crumbs

How to Make Spicy Buffalo Chicken & Ranch Potato Bake

1. In a large pot, cook the chicken strips in water over medium heat until no longer pink. In a separate medium pot, boil the potatoes in water over high heat until soft and tender. Drain both when fully cooked.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

3. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken strips with the buffalo wing sauce until coated.

4. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer over the potato mixture.

5. In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs (or crushed Corn Flakes) with the melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.

6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the topping is golden. Sprinkle with green onions before serving, if desired.
