1 teaspoon garlic powder – For that aromatic punch.

How to Make Creamy Chicken Potato Coin Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sliced potatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In a greased baking dish, layer the potato and chicken mixture evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and frozen mixed vegetables over the top.
Drizzle olive oil over the entire dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Substitutions & Additions

If you want to mix things up a bit, feel free to make some substitutions! Here are a few ideas:

Swap the heavy cream for a lighter option like half-and-half or a dairy-free cream.
Add different vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition.
Try different cheeses such as mozzarella or a spicy pepper jack for a kick!

Tips for Success

Here are some tips to ensure your bake turns out perfectly every time:

Don’t skip the foil cover during the first baking stage; it helps steam the potatoes.
Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving to allow the creamy sauce to thicken.
Feel free to prepare the mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake!

How to Store Creamy Chicken Potato Coin Bake

This dish is great for leftovers! Store any uneaten portions in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave until warmed through. I personally love enjoying it the next day for lunch!
