Almost all children who leave home yearn for their mother’s cooking, and if they are lucky and their mother really likes to cook, this yearning is even stronger.
Although she has always tried to surprise us with new flavors and combinations, I will always want those simple dishes … the kind of food that we often eat and that she prepares with crazy ease, because just like that, today is the day of the easy casserole dish, the dish that is so simple that it doesn’t need a recipe.
The list of her dishes is huge, but one recipe will always smell of mom and the love she has given us by cooking for years is the Potato Casserole with Chicken loaded in the oven.
I often make this dish myself, but I never expect my house to taste the way I remember it. When I want to eat this dish, she goes on stage and, for the umpteenth time, brings me back to the round table in the living room.
It’s nice to make Sunday dinner special and spend that time with the people closest to me…. Some meals are like that, slow and scented with linden tree that is brought by the wind, smiling and joyful….
Enjoy it!
Ingredients :
1 kg of chicken breast
8 potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 TBS fresh ground pepper
1 TBS Paprika
2 TBS Garlic powder
6 TBS Hot Sauce
{Toppings}
2 cups grated cheese
1 cup crumbled bacon
1 cup diced green onion
Instructions :
Preheat the oven to 500F
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and hot sauce.
Cut the potatoes into cubes and add them to the bowl.
Spray a 9×13 dish with cooking spray.
Add the potatoes, leave the excess sauce in the bowl.
Cook the potatoes for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Cut the chicken into cubes and add it to the bowl with the remaining sauce.
Mix cheese, bacon and green onion in a small separate bowl.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the uncooked marinated chicken.
Then spread the toppings on the chicken.
Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
Is 500 degrees correct for oven temp for potatoes???
The 500 degrees is in Celsius not Fahrenheit.
the recipe says 500F. F is Fahrenheit not Celsius
500C is 932F
no, I would use 400
I cooked at 500 degrees and stirred every 15 minutes and it burnt my potatoes. I think 500 degrees is to high
What is l kg of chicken breast?
I’m guessing a pound
1 kg is 2.2 pounds
would think 350 to 400 degrees would be enough, sure looks great, have to try it
I made this loved it, we will definitely be making it again !!!!
6 TBS of hot sauce seems like a lot of heat! How spicy is this anyway?
I use Texas Pete hot sauce it is a milder hot sauce that doesn’t have the heat of others.
Can you make it without the hot sauce
Pre cook bacon first? Or just add it raw?
Crumbled bacon means cooked bacon crumbled up
Want to see raw bacon crumbled up !!! Lol
I baked the potatoes at 450 , know your oven!!!
Cooking chicken for 15 minutes just doesn’t seem like enough am I wrong on this?
I agree! Would cook longer than that!
I really don’t think it’s enough time I would prefer cook a bit then add an ck after 15 mins.
I would use at least 400 degrees on potatoes, I am going to try rotisserie chicken and real bacon bits see how that works maybe minced onions also
How many people does this serve?
Do you cover the potatoes
I think I would cook my chicken before I added it in.
