🥘 Chicken and Potato Bake 🥘

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    • Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. Prep chicken and potatoes:
    • In a large bowl, toss potatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Arrange potatoes and onion in the baking dish. Place chicken on top.
  3. Bake:
    • Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, until chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C) and potatoes are tender.
  4. Optional cheese topping:
    • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes and chicken in the last 5–10 minutes of baking.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Perfect with a side salad or steamed veggies.

💡 Tips & Variations:

  • Extra flavor: Marinate chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Veggie mix: Add carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini for a one-pan meal.
  • Crispier skin: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra-crispy chicken skin.

If you want, I can also give you a creamy version of this bake where potatoes and chicken are baked in a garlic-parmesan cream sauce — it’s even more comforting and rich.

Do you want me to share that version?
