  1. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Mix with salt, pepper, some chopped rosemary and drizzle about 1 tablespoon olive oil over. Bake for 15 minutes.
  2. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Pour the marinade over and mix well.
  3. Take the dish out of oven and mix in chicken. Cover with aluminum foil and return to oven for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is done.
  4. Uncover, spread the cheese over and return to oven for 10 minutes until cheese melts and bubbly. Serve garnished with some chopped green onions and with a squeeze of lemon juice.

💡 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 baby potatoes or 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. Green beans and carrots are great in this recipe, too.
  • Play with the spices, add oregano, paprika or any other spice mix you love.
  • Next time, try it with chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts or a whole chicken. Adjust baking time accordingly.
  • This works with shredded or cubed leftover rotisserie chicken for an even quicker dinner.

💬 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.
