Step 3: Sauté Onion and Garlic
- In a pan, heat a bit of olive oil.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
- Stir in garlic for another 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat.
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
- Begin layering in your baking dish:
- First, a layer of sliced potatoes
- Then, a layer of the seasoned chicken
- Spoon over some sautéed onion and garlic
- Sprinkle a little cheese
- Repeat layers until all ingredients are used
Step 5: Pour the Cream
- In a small bowl, mix the cream with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour evenly over the entire dish. It will soak into the potatoes and chicken while baking and make everything soft and creamy.
Step 6: Top with Cheese
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Add a touch of paprika or black pepper for color.
Step 7: Bake
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8: Rest and Garnish
- Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps it set.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if you have any on hand.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
- Serve it hot with a crisp salad or a side of steamed vegetables.
- It’s also great with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
- Leftovers? If there are any—they taste even better the next day.
