Why This Dish Is Amazing
This dish combines tender chicken with crispy potatoes, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. It’s easy to prepare and uses simple ingredients that come together beautifully. The flavors are hearty and perfect for any day of the week.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with butter so everything doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Thinly slice the potatoes and onions. Layer them nicely in the dish, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes. Toss the chicken in a bowl with salt, pepper, and paprika until well coated, then spread it over the potatoes and onions.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and veggies.
Step 5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 60 minutes.
Step 6
After that, take off the foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese and sliced tomatoes on top, and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese melts and gets bubbly.
Step 7
Finish by garnishing with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot and enjoy!

Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to add some brightness to the plate. A side of garlic bread or crusty rolls can also complement the dish nicely. For a complete meal, consider adding a light sauce or gravy.
Food Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist and the potatoes crisp. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the potatoes may change.
