- Bring everything to a boil, then reduce to medium and cook covered until chicken shreds with a fork. About 1 hour.
Casserole
- Heat olive oil in a skillet.
- Once hot, add sweet potatoes.
- Cook on medium high, stirring occasionally to keep from burning and to ensure cooking evenly.
- Stir about every 60 seconds.
- Once almost tender, add seasonings.
- Stir well and allow to cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Total potato cook time should be 15-20 mins.
- In a 9x11 baking dish. Add your potatoes.
- Add your chicken, tomatoes, butter, egg mixture, cheese, then bacon.
- Bake on 400 °F for 15 minutes covered.
- Remove foil and allow to cook for 10-15 more minutes until no longer runny and the outer edges begin to brown.
Notes
Tips:
- Expand the flavor profile by adding garlic cloves or garlic powder.
- Use chicken breasts for a more affordable option instead of pre-shredded chicken.
- Make sure you make an even layer with the cheese so the heat is distributed across the whole dish and the cheese is evenly melted.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- Reheat in the microwave using 30 second intervals until desired temperature is reached.
- Do not put this recipe in the freezer after it is cooked.
