How to Make Creamy Chicken Potato Coin Bake

Let’s dive into the steps to create this delicious dish together!

1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your bake will cook evenly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix until everything is well combined.
3. Next, grab a greased baking dish and layer half of the potato coins evenly on the bottom. This will create a lovely base for your dish.
4. Pour half of the chicken mixture over the potato layer, making sure to cover it well.
5. Add the remaining potato coins on top of the chicken mixture, layering them nicely.
6. Now pour the rest of the chicken mixture over the second layer of potatoes, spreading it out evenly.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top. Trust me, this is the best part!
8. Drizzle olive oil over the entire dish to help it get that golden brown color.
9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
10. Once done, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Don’t forget to garnish with chopped parsley before serving!

Substitutions & Additions

If you’re looking to switch things up, here are a few ideas:

• Swap out the chicken for turkey or even a plant-based protein if you prefer a vegetarian option.
• Add some frozen peas or corn for a pop of color and sweetness.
• For a bit of heat, consider adding some diced jalapenos or red pepper flakes.

Tips for Success

Here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way:

• Ensure your potatoes are sliced evenly so they cook at the same rate.
• Don’t skip the resting time after baking; it helps the flavors meld beautifully.
• If you’re meal prepping, this dish can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.

How to Store Creamy Chicken Potato Coin Bake

Leftovers? You bet! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave, but I recommend using the oven to keep that cheesy top nice and crispy. If you want to freeze it, wrap it well and it should last for about a month.

FAQs

• Can I make this dish ahead of time? Absolutely! Just assemble it and cover it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
