Preparation Method
1. Cook the potatoes
First, the potatoes need to be lightly cooked before putting them in the oven to ensure they are soft.
- So, in a pan with water and a pinch of salt, cook the potato slices for approximately five minutes, just until they are slightly soft.
- Finally, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the chicken
Secondly, the chicken needs to be well seasoned and browned to ensure the dish is flavorful.
- First, in a large skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat.
- Then, sauté the onion and garlic until golden.
- Add the chicken and season with salt, black pepper and sweet paprika.
- Cook for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Finally, book.
3. Prepare the creamy sauce
Thirdly, this sauce will give a special touch to the dish.
- In a bowl, mix the cream, cottage cheese and milk until a smooth cream forms.
- By the way, if you like, add a little grated nutmeg for a more sophisticated flavor.
4. Assemble the dish
Finally, now is the time to combine all the ingredients.
- First, in a large baking dish, make a layer with the pre-cooked potatoes.
- Then spread the browned chicken on top.
- Pour the creamy sauce over everything, covering the ingredients well.
- Finally, finish with grated cheese.
5. Bake in the oven
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Then bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
6. Finish and serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley or oregano to give it a special touch.
The chicken is tender and juicy, the potatoes absorb the flavor of the sauce and the grated cheese gives that irresistible finish.
Extra Tips
- For an even more intense flavor, add fried bacon or sautéed mushrooms when assembling the dish.
- By the way, if you want a lighter sauce, replace the cottage cheese with cream cheese or natural yogurt.
