Chicken Cheesy Potato Bake is a comforting and hearty dish that combines tender chicken thighs with a medley of vegetables, crispy bacon, and a rich, cheesy sauce. Perfect for family dinners or gatherings, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes. Set them aside in cold water to prevent them from browning.
- Dice the onion, carrot, and celery.
- Cut the bacon strips into smaller pieces and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, sear the chicken thighs on both sides until lightly browned. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a separate medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until it turns golden and has a slightly nutty aroma, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken gravy and heavy whipping cream until smooth and slightly thickened. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- In a large ovenproof dish, layer half of the potatoes evenly.
- Spread the sautéed vegetables over the potatoes.
- Arrange the seared chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
- Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Layer the remaining potatoes on top.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the final potato layer.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Allow the dish to cool for about 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Enjoy your delicious Chicken Cheesy Potato Bake!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for optimal baking temperature.
- Use a mandoline to uniformly slice the potatoes, ensuring even cooking.
- Cook the bacon beforehand to get it extra crispy before adding it to the bake.
- Stir the flour into melted butter gradually to avoid lumps when making the sauce.
- If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, consider mixing in cheddar or another sharp cheese with the mozzarella.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the sauce to thicken.
This Chicken Cheesy Potato Bake is the ultimate comfort food that brings together the savory flavors of chicken, bacon, and cheese with the hearty texture of potatoes and veggies. With a few simple tips, you can create a meal that’s both delicious and satisfying for any occasion. Enjoy!
