Creamy Dump-and-Bake Chicken & Potatoes

Serves 6 · Prep: 15 minutes · Estimated bake: 50–65 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½-inch pieces
  • 1½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon zest, optional, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. Add the chicken, potatoes, cream, broth, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly and spread evenly.
  3. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  4. Carefully uncover and stir. Check several chicken pieces with a thermometer and test the potatoes with a fork. Continue baking uncovered for 10–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches at least 165°F. If the potatoes need more time but the top is browning, cover again.
  5. Let rest for 5–10 minutes. Spoon the creamy pan juices over each serving and finish with fresh parsley and optional lemon zest.

Note: The sauce is meant to be spoonable, not thick like gravy. Cut the potatoes evenly and no larger than ½ inch so they cook through.

Newly developed recipe—not kitchen-tested. Baking time and sauce consistency need a test batch before publication.
