Ingredients

For the Potatoes

2 lbs baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes

2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons water

For the Chicken

1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Bowls

8 strips bacon, cooked and chopped

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream

2 green onions, sliced

Fresh diced tomatoes, optional

Hot sauce, optional

Check the labels on seasonings, bacon, cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce to ensure they're certified or labeled gluten-free when needed.

Directions

1. Get the Potatoes Started

Cut the potatoes into small bite-sized pieces.

Preheat one side of the Blackstone to medium heat. Add the oil followed by the potatoes.

Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally.

2. Steam Those Potatoes 🔥

Add approximately 2 tablespoons of water around the potatoes and cover them with a melting dome.

Let them steam for 5–7 minutes to help soften the centers.

Remove the dome and let any remaining moisture cook away.

Now spread those potatoes out and let them get golden and crispy.

3. Cook the Bacon

Cook the bacon until crispy.

Remove it from the Blackstone, let it cool slightly, then give it a rough chop.

And yes…

Try not to eat half of it while everything else cooks. 😂

4. Get the Chicken Down

Add a little oil to another section of the Blackstone.

Spread the chicken into a single layer and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Let it sit for a couple minutes before tossing so you get some good color.

Continue cooking until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

5. Bring Everything Together

Combine the crispy potatoes and chicken on the griddle.

Add most of the chopped bacon and give everything a good toss.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top.

Turn the heat down and cover with your melting dome just long enough to get that cheese ridiculously melted. 🧀🔥

6. Build the Bowls

Load each bowl with the cheesy chicken, potatoes, and bacon.

Finish with sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, additional bacon, and hot sauce if you want some heat.

Then…

DIG IN. 😂🔥

🔥 Bright Spots Pro Tip

Steam first. CRISP second.

Don't spend 20 minutes chasing raw potatoes around your Blackstone. 😂

A splash of water and a melting dome will soften the centers. Once they're tender, remove the dome, let all that moisture disappear, spread the potatoes out, and then let the Blackstone give you those crispy edges.

That's where the magic happens. 🔥

This is exactly the kind of recipe that represents Bright Spots cooking for me.

Nothing fancy.

Nothing you need to spend all afternoon preparing.

Just a bunch of really good ingredients hitting a hot Blackstone and somehow turning into something you can’t stop picking at before it ever reaches the plate. 😂🔥

And this one starts with potatoes.

Get those little guys onto the griddle, season them up, give them a quick steam underneath the dome and then let them CRISP.

Meanwhile, bacon is doing what bacon does.

Making everything better. 😂🥓

Then we’ve got chunks of seasoned chicken hitting another section of the Blackstone.

Once everything has some beautiful color, bring the chicken and potatoes together, throw that bacon into the party and cover the whole thing with shredded cheddar.

Dome goes down.

Cheese melts.

And now we’ve got a situation. 👀🔥

Scoop everything into bowls and finish them however you want.

Sour cream. Green onions. Tomatoes. Hot sauce. More bacon.

You do you.

And here’s the cool part: this isn’t a recipe where we’re trying to create some weird substitute just so we can call it gluten-free.

It’s simply really good Blackstone food that also happens to be gluten-free when you choose appropriately labeled ingredients.

That’s exactly how I want the Gluten-Free section of Bright Spots to feel.

Good food first. Gluten-free too. 🔥

Until the next one… we’ll see ya! 🔥
