Step 5: Pour the Creamy Mixture
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream with butter until melted and smooth.
Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and herbs to flavor it.
Pour this mixture evenly over the layered chicken and potatoes.
Step 6: Add the Cheeses
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar evenly over the top.
These melt together beautifully, forming a golden crust thatβs hard to resist.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Then remove the foil and bake for another 15β20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown, and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 8: Rest and Serve
Once baked, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
This allows the creamy sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to settle.
Garnish with parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
