4. When scooping the potatoes into the baking dish, leave behind any extra olive oil/hot sauce mix.

8. In a large bowl mix all the topping ingredients together. Top the raw chicken with the topping.
9. Bake 15 minutes or until until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is melted and bubbly delicious.
