Equipment

  • 1 9 x 13 Baking Dish

Ingredients

  • ½ lb Bacon Chopped
  • 2 ½ lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 ¼ cup BBQ Sauce
  • 1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 cup Black Olives Sliced
  • 1 cup Hot Banana Pepper Slices
  • 1 cup Pineapple Tidbits
  • 1 Large Green Pepper Sliced or Chopped
  • 1 Small Red Onion sliced
  • 3 cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese or Pepper Jack Cheese, Shredded Cheddar, or Mozzarella
  • 2 lb bag Tater Tots

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F, spray a 9 x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick pan, Cook Bacon until cooked through, with fat rendering in the pan.
  • Add chicken, season with a little salt and pepper. Continue cooking - stirring frequently - until chicken is cooked all the way through.
  • Once chicken is cooked through, add BBQ sauce and canned soup, stir well to combine.
  • Add black olives, banana peppers, pineapple, green pepper and onion, stir well to combine and coat everything with sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    At this point, you can cook it for a few minutes (if you want the veggies really soft), or not (if you want them more the texture of pizza toppings).
  • Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 casserole dish or baking pan. Sprinkle shredded cheese over mixture.
  • Arrange tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • Serve hot, topped with fresh cilantro or extra shredded cheese, if desired!

Notes

Serve hot, topped with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired!
Once cooled to room temperature, leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap - or transferred to an airtight container - and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
