Parmesan Chicken and Potato Bake

Submitted by Jaime in Winnipeg

"I got this out of the new Kraft What's Cooking magazine. The picture looked wonderful, but the recipe seemed too simple - I didn't really think that it would be all that good. Well, the picture was right - an amazingly good, simple dish. I suggest adding extra potatoes as we fought over them!"

I made this with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which were dry even though they were marinated in the dressing for 30 minutes... so I don't think I recommend using them for this recipe. That being said, these are the BEST potatoes I have ever made or eaten. They were fabulous! I used a big package of fingerlings and about 1/6 of a bottle of dressing, adding big chunks of onion, and some sea salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and a Trader Joe's seasoning mix. After baking the potatoes for 1 hour at 400, I baked them for an additional 30 minutes at 450. That made them extra crispy.

I am making this dish tonight. I did, however, change it a bit. I don't like chicken with bone in. I substituted boneless chicken and added Olive oil with my dry mix and a few spices. Write review after I try it.

4 stars vs. 5 only because I didn't actually use the entire recipe. I didn't have any chicken with bones, so I just used the recipe for the potatoes. They were fabulous and will definitely be repeated, and often! I didn't have any Italian dressing, so I made my own with 3 tbs EVOO, roughly the same of white balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbs dried basil, 1 tsp dried oregono, 1 fresh clove of garlic (pressed), and 2 tsp sea salt - into a jar, shake to mix. Excellent and my husband loved these potatoes even more than my usual method!

This was scrumptious! I Made this recipe last nite using pesto dressing to marinate six chicken thighs for 30 min prior to baking. Just marinating for that short time gave it a great flavor, so longer would be even better. I added onion to the potatos. This dish is reminiscant of one mom used to make; chicken, peas & potatoes, so I added a can of drained peas during the last 10 min of baking to heat through. Adding parmesan set it apart for me, a little for a lot of flavor. Thanx for posting, Jaime.

I made this tonight and loved it! It was simple and great tasting too. I made up my own Italian dressing and it really made this easy dish something special. I found that some of the potatoes did not get enough of the dressing on them, and therefore lacking taste-wise. So I think next time the only thing I would do differently is to mix everything, except the parmesan cheese, together in a large mixing bowl to coat everything well, then put it all in a pan and sprinkle the cheese on top. This dish is definitely a keeper! Thanks!!
