Creamy Chicken Potato Casserole

This savory creamy chicken potato casserole is the perfect healthy comfort food for cold winter nights! Hearty roasted potatoes are baked with chicken, bacon, and a creamy sauce that you won’t believe is dairy free. It’s kid approved, easy to make and the leftovers are perfect for a filling lunch the next day. It’s Whole30 compliant and paleo friendly. You’ll see that many of the ingredients are my staples that show up again and again, nothing fancy and no surprises.

Winter is all about soups and casseroles for me. I made the sauce a little creamier, kept the bacon and chicken and swapped out the veggies for roasted potatoes. Needless to say I was totally thrilled with the result!
