How to Make Au Gratin Chicken And Potato Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet (or baking dish) sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, brown 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Prepare the au gratin potato mix according to package directions, but do not add any water yet. (Usually about 1 bag)
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup chopped onion.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, etc).
  6. Gently stir in the cooked chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Add the recommended amount of water according to the potato mix package instructions
  8. Roast, uncovered, for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Chicken juices should run clear when pierced with a fork.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
