💡 Amira's Tips

  • You can use any potatoes you like, Idaho potatoes is what I've used for this recipe but red potatoes work great.
  • Try this dish with sweet potatoes too.
  • Add a dash of Cayenne peppers for some heat.

🧺 Storage

Leftover chicken potato bake can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

⌛ Make Ahead

  • Chop both chicken and potato and season and keep each in a separate bag or container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bake as directed.
  • Alternatively, you can bake the casserole without the cheese cover tightly and refrigerate for up to two days. When ready to serve, reheat in the oven then add the cheese and follow instructions.

👩‍🍳 Variations

  • Feel free to add more vegetables as you like, carrots are great in this recipe too.
  • Play with the spices, add oregano, paprika or any other spice mix you love.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts or even use bone in chicken. Adjust cooking time accordingly.

💬 FAQs

How do you bake chicken and not dry it out?

The olive oil based marinade the chicken is covered in and then baked keeps the chicken from drying out in the recipe.

Do you bake chicken covered?

Yes, when making chicken potato bake it's best to cover up the dish to ensure even cooking. If you wish to take the cover off to brown up the dish that can be done in the last ten minutes of cooking.
