Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 slices bacon
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/4 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded cooked chicken (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup Skinny Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip (recipe below)
1/4 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
Fresh chopped chives
Instructions:
Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and set a baking rack on top. Lay the strips of bacon flat on top of the rack, then bake until crisp, about 12-15 minutes, depending upon the thickness of your bacon. Set between two paper towels atop a dinner plate and pat dry. When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
Meanwhile, 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 10-15 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, 3-5 minutes. Top with chives. Serve immediately.
