Equipment

  • Casserole dish
  • Mandolin slicer

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise divided
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced approximately ¾ pounds
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced approximately ½ pound
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, sliced thinly
  • salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

  • Prepare chicken. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and toss with basil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and ⅓ cup of mayonnaise. Spread evenly on the bottom of a 13-inch casserole dish (4 quarts).

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a non-preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
Tips: You may need to pour out the liquid after baking the casserole dish as the veggies will release a lot of liquid. Allow the chicken potato bake to rest for 10 minutes after baking.
Variations: You may use chicken breast instead of chicken thighs and use your favorite potatoes but adjust baking time accordingly.
