Ingredients:
- 1 broiler chicken
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Italian seasonings
- Romano cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Italian dressing
- Potatoes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Start by sprinkling the broiler chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasonings. You want to ensure that each piece is well seasoned for maximum flavor.
-
-
Marinate the Chicken: Transfer the seasoned chicken to a bowl or a resealable plastic zip bag. Then, pour Italian dressing over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
-
Preheat the Oven: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your oven is nice and hot when it’s time to bake the dish.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: While the oven is heating up, it’s time to prepare the potatoes. Start by slicing them into evenly sized pieces. This ensures that they cook evenly and are tender when the dish is done.
-
Assemble the Dish: Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Then, arrange the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the pan.
-
Add the Chicken: Once the potatoes are in place, add the marinated chicken parts on top of the potatoes. Be sure to include any remaining dressing from the marinade for extra flavor.
-
Coat with Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of Romano cheese and Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes. The cheese adds a deliciously gooey texture and a rich, savory flavor to the dish.
-
Bake Covered: Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, allowing the chicken and potatoes to cook through and absorb all the flavors.
-
Uncover and Bake: After 30 minutes, remove the foil covering from the baking pan. Continue baking for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear and the potatoes are tender. This ensures that the dish gets beautifully golden brown on top and the chicken is perfectly cooked.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the Italian Chicken Potato Bake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting goodness of this delicious dish with your loved ones!
