CHICKEN AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Hi Everyone!

In this video I am going to share with you a Chicken and Potato Casserole recipe.

Chicken and potato casserole is a comforting and hearty dish that combines tender pieces of chicken with flavorful seasonings and sliced potatoes. It is typically baked in the oven to create a wholesome and satisfying one-dish meal.

This is a great idea of a quick and easy meal for that lazy day. Serve this with your favorite vegetables or salad and it will be a complete meal.

Recipe Notes:

I used chicken thighs as the key ingredient in this recipe. You could use any parts of the chicken that you prefer.
The chicken thighs must be dried before dusting with plain flour. The coating will keep the chicken from sticking to the pan while cooking.
I peeled and sliced the potatoes to approximately 7mm thickness. The sliced potatoes are then boiled until they are soft. Be careful not to overcook. Boiling the sliced potatoes before baking in the oven will help the potatoes to develop a crispy outer layer which added texture to the taste.
I am using a fan-forced oven set to 180 deg.C to bake the chicken. If you have a conventional oven, the temperature would be 200 deg.C.
Bake chicken for 45 minutes or until they are cooked through and the sliced potatoes turn slightly golden. The 45 minutes baking time as mentioned here is a guideline only. The time will vary based on the thickness and weight of the meat.
I used Himalayan Pink Salt in this recipe. You could use any other types of salt that is available to you.
