Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds. Thinly slice the onion as well.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the cooking oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, then sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer at the bottom of the dish, followed by half of the sliced onion and 1 cup of the frozen mixed vegetables. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the layer.
Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the first layer. Add the remaining potato slices, onions, mixed vegetables, and cheese sauce, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Scalloped Potatoes Chicken Supper!
