Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 1 lb frozen French fries
Chicken
- 1 large chicken breast, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Toppings
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
Gravy
- 1 1/2 cups chicken or brown gravy
Instructions
- Cook the fries: Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake them according to the package instructions or air fry until they are golden and crispy. This creates the perfect base for the poutine.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Prepare the gravy: Warm store-bought gravy in a saucepan over medium heat, or make homemade gravy by combining broth, butter, and flour, then simmering the mixture until thickened and flavorful.
- Assemble the poutine: Place the hot cooked fries on a large serving plate. Add the cooked chicken evenly over the fries. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top while the fries and chicken are hot so the cheese begins to melt.
- Add gravy and toppings: Generously pour the warm gravy over the fries, chicken, and cheese. Top with the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish hot and melty.
Notes
- You can air fry or bake the fries depending on your preference for crispiness.
- For added flavor, you can use homemade gravy or a good quality store-bought gravy.
- Adjust the seasoning on the chicken to your taste, adding more paprika or garlic powder if desired.
- To make it spicier, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated, but the fries may lose their crispiness.
