Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly butter a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Slice the potatoes and layer them in the dish along with some sliced onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes, then toss them in a bowl with salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread the seasoned chicken over the potatoes and onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 60 minutes.
After baking, remove the foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese and sliced tomatoes on top. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes until the cheese melts.
Finish by garnishing with fresh coriander leaves. Serve warm and enjoy!
- Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to help the skin crisp up nicely.
- Use evenly sized potato pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate as the chicken.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes after roasting to keep it juicy and tender.
This dish is a comforting classic that brings together juicy, flavorful chicken with crispy, golden potatoes. It's easy to prepare and perfect for a hearty family meal. The combination of herbs and roasting enhances natural flavors without requiring complicated steps.
Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A drizzle of fresh lemon juice or a dollop of garlic butter can add a bright, rich flavor. Crusty bread on the side also complements the dish well.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the chicken skin crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the potatoes soggy and the chicken dry.
