Ingredients
1 lb frozen French fries
1 large chicken breast, diced
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 cups chicken or brown gravy
Instructions
1. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet and cook them according to package instructions, or air fry them until golden and crispy.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for 7–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
3. Warm store-bought gravy in a saucepan or make homemade gravy by combining broth, butter, and flour, simmering until thickened.
4. Place hot fries on a large serving plate. Add cooked chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top. Pour hot gravy generously over everything.
5. Top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time without sacrificing flavor.
A combination of mozzarella and sharp cheddar ensures gooey texture and bold taste.
Assemble quickly once fries and chicken are hot to help melt the cheese without oven time.
