Chicken potato bake suggestions
This chicken potato bake is similar to a chicken potato casserole, but it’s coated in garlic and olive oil before being baked till golden brown and topped with stretchy, melty cheese. You may simply change the quantity of chicken based on how many people you’re feeding. Also, chicken thigh flesh works best since it has the greatest flavour and can withstand high heat cooking. Serve with a mild green salad to give some freshness to the rich goodness.
