Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

For homemade creamy sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in heavy cream and chicken broth. Cook until thickened. Stir in cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Add half of the onions, garlic, and chicken pieces on top.
  • Pour half of the creamy cheese sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Layer the remaining potatoes, chicken, onions, and sauce.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes, until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove foil, sprinkle with extra cheddar cheese, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Yukon Gold potatoes give a buttery flavor, while Russet potatoes are starchier for a heartier texture.
  • Use half-and-half for a lighter version, or substitute the cheese blend to customize the flavor.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for extra depth.
