  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Frozen French fries (crinkle-cut or shoestring) – 1 bag (about 16 oz)
  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced – 2 cups
  • Buffalo sauce (hot sauce mixed with melted butter) – 1/2 cup
  • Shredded cheddar cheese – 1 to 1 1/2 cups
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing – 1/4 cup for drizzling
  • Green onions or chives, chopped – 1/4 cup
  • Cilantro, chopped (optional) – 2 tablespoons
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the French Fries: Bake or fry the frozen French fries according to package instructions until they are crispy and golden, creating the crunchy base for the fries.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: While fries cook, shred or dice the cooked chicken breast. Toss the chicken gently with the buffalo sauce until well-coated, ensuring flavorful pieces without oversaturating.
  3. Assemble the Fries: Spread the cooked fries evenly on a baking sheet. Evenly top them with the buffalo chicken and sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts, bubbles, and turns delightfully golden.
  5. Add Final Touches: Remove from the oven and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives and optional cilantro to add freshness and color.

Notes

  • Use high-quality frozen fries for the best crispiness and texture.
  • Lightly toss chicken in buffalo sauce to avoid soggy toppings.
  • Watch the broiler carefully, as cheese can burn quickly.
  • Serve immediately for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • For extra cheesy layers, add cheese both under and over the buffalo chicken.
