    Ingredients for making the recipe.

    This easy chicken potato casserole recipe has a few, basic ingredients, most of which will easily find in your pantry.

    • Olive oil: You can replace with vegetable oil or sunflower oil.
    • Brown sugar: Just a little bit.
    • Chicken broth: You may use chicken stock or beef broth.
    • Vegetables: Potatoes, peas and red onion.

    • Add in some mushrooms.

    How To Make Chicken And Potato Casserole

    To make this easy chicken potato casserole recipe, follow the detailed instructions below.

    Step by step photo on how to make the recipe.

    First Step - Make the Marinade: In a bowl, add all the spices, olive oil, mustard, brown sugar and minced garlic then stir well until a thick paste-like mixture forms.

    Second Step - Marinate the chicken thighs: Wash the raw chicken thighs and dry with a paper towel. Arrange them in an ovenproof baking dish then spread the previous mixture underneath the skin of each chicken thigh.

    Third Step - Combine Everything in The Casserole: In a baking dish or a casserole dish, add the green peas, sliced onion and the potatoes under and between the chicken thighs. Pour the broth over.

    Fourth Step - Bake: Bake at 200C/392F for about 1 hour or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender. Garnish with fresh thyme or chopped parsley then serve.

    Top Tips!

    • After half of the baking time, flip the chickens to the other side to make sure they are perfectly cooked.
    • Don't replace chicken thighs with chicken breasts, as chicken breasts tend to dry a bit in the oven.
    • Use boneless and skinless chicken thighs if you like; however, you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
    • If you don't want your chicken to be crispy, cover your casserole for the first 30 minutes of baking time with aluminum foil.

    How To Serve

    This is a whole meal, so serve it as it is. Here are some recommendations if you like to serve it with a side dish.

    • Serve with rice such as Turmeric Rice, Seaweed Rice Balls.
    • Serve with salad such as Classic Taco Salad, Beetroot and Goats Cheese Salad or Japanese Seaweed Salad (Wakame).
    • A drink of your choice such as Chocolate Bubble Tea or Strawberry Milk Tea.
