Chicken and Potato Bake Recipe
Ingredients:
2–3 chicken breasts, cubed
3–5 small to medium potatoes, diced
1 1/2 cans green beans, drained
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish or casserole with a light coating of olive oil or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the potatoes:
Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Dice them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
3. Season the chicken:
Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and place them in another bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and minced garlic. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
4. Combine in the baking dish:
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the green beans on top of the potatoes. Then place the seasoned chicken cubes evenly over the vegetables.
5. Add the broth:
Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables. This will help keep the dish moist and add flavor.
6. Bake in the oven:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
7. Uncover and finish baking:
Remove the foil and sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese, if using. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender. The top should be golden brown.
8. Garnish and serve:
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Serve warm as a complete meal.
