Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 medium-sized chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Potatoes and Cheese

  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken: Season chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove Chicken: Take the cooked chicken out of the skillet and set aside.
  5. Prepare Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, then pour in the chicken broth and stir in the sour cream, mixing until creamy and well combined.
  6. Assemble Dish – Layer 1: Grease a baking dish and layer half of the peeled and sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom.
  7. Add Chicken: Place the cooked chicken breasts over the potato layer in the baking dish.
  8. Add Sauce: Pour the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes, making sure all pieces are well coated.
  9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the sauce-covered chicken and potatoes.
  10. Layer Remaining Potatoes: Place the remaining sliced potatoes over the cheese layer.
  11. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  12. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  13. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and let the dish cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken breasts for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for best texture and taste.
  • Make sure to slice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
  • The dish can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness of the top layer.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
