How to make this Creamy Chicken and Potato Casserole –

  • First mix up a quick little rub that will give your chicken a beautiful color while it bakes up.
  • Next, make the easy and light cream sauce. It’s a combination of chicken stock and cream which makes a beautiful sauce thats not too heavy.
  • chicken rubbed with spices and potatoes
  • To make the simple garlic cream sauce saute onion and garlic in butter. Add flour then pour in the wine, stock and cream. Then boom! Beautiful creamy sauce that is so delicious!
  • Either spoon or pour the cream sauce over the chicken and potatoes leaving the top of the chicken exposed so it will get all brown and crispy. (you can see I poured my sauce in a measuring cup with a spout which made it super easy but spooning it around will work just as well.)

Bake at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer. Internal temperature of chicken should be at 165 degrees.

Can I make Baked Creamy Chicken with boneless chicken?

  • You can use boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts. Decrease the size of the potatoes cutting them in quarters and decrease the total cooking time to 30 minutes.

How do I store leftovers and what do you suggest I serve this chicken casserole with?

  • Store in a sealed container for up to 3 days in the refridgerator. You can freeze for up to 3 months but will most likely have to re-thicken the sauce when thawed.
  • We like this with a simple steamed vegetable like broccoli or carrots.

      Hi Kay – I am not familiar with that product but I can assume it should be fine as it’s a light cream.
