Roast and potatoes are one match made in heaven. Whether we talk about fries, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes or potato wedges,I can’t think of a more popular side dish. Some might argue that it’s not quite a great combination if you care about your waistline.

And that might be true, but we can certainly make it healthier by baking it, rather than frying. This fantastic chicken and potato casserole is cooked in one dish, which means less mess, less fuss, and one hearty dinner that everybody will enjoy.

Rather than cooking the chicken and potatoes separately, we throw everything in the same dish, and wait for this amazing bake to be ready. Add any seasoning you like, but my very favourite is the paprika and garlic combo; you can never go wrong with it.Rosemary, thyme, or Italian herbs are also a nice option, so go for whatever you like best.

How to make the best chicken potato bake for dinner

Potatoes take a little big longer to cook in the oven than chicken does, so it’s a good idea to first add the potatoes, then the cubed chicken pieces. The smaller the potato bites, the better, I wouldn’t go for large pieces. If you use baby potatoes, best to half or even quarter them.

New potatoes don’t necessarily need to be peeled, but that’s up to you, it’s not a big deal if you leave the skin on.

  • preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit)
  • peel and chop the potatoes, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic granules

Swap the regular paprika for smoked paprika for a nice smokey flavour.

  • arrange the potato on an oven-proof dish, and bake for 20 minutes
  • cut the chicken breasts into small chunks, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic granules, and add them on top of the potatoes
  • bake for a further 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender
  • top with grated cheddar cheese, bake for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted, then garnish with fresh parsley

The baking time depends entirely on the size of your potatoes. And even type of oven, so check them regularly, and give them a good shake, so that they cook evenly.

What else can you add to this dinner casserole?

For a loaded chicken and potato bake, feel free to add anything else that takes your fancy. Some good options are:

  • any leftover meat
  • ham
  • bacon
  • any cooked or fresh veggies like broccoli or cauliflower

For an extra creamy texture, add some double or heavy cream. And there you have it, a fantastic dinner casserole to warm your heart no matter the season.
