Cheesy Ranch Chicken and Potato Casserole is so simple to throw together and oh so yummy! I like this casserole for many reasons but my top reason is the ingredients. Chicken, broccoli, potatoes with ranch dressing and cheese.
The casserole is full of crunchy, baked potatoes, juicy chicken, steamed broccoli smothered in ranch dressing topped with melted cheese.

- While the potatoes are cooking, boil the chicken in the water until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Steam the broccoli until tender.
- Shred chicken with a fork.
- Check the potatoes with a fork to insure doneness.
- Once the potatoes are done, take them out of the oven.
