Chicken and Potato Casserole
Ready In: 2 hrs 10 mins
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- 1 kg potato
- 300 g boneless chicken meat
- 150 g feta cheese
- 2 mushroom stock cubes
- salt
- ground black pepper
- ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- water
Directions
- Cut the chicken into small peaces.
- Sprinkle with a little bit of salt (don't get carried away - you'll add more salt to the whole pot later), black pepper and cumin to taste and leave to sit while you prepare the potatoes.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium or small chunks.
- Put the vegetable oil in a glass casserole or even better in a thick-walled cast-iron pot (both with a lid) and add the chicken and potatoes.
- Crush the feta and the stock cubes in the pot and mix all the ingredients well;.
- Before mixing you may add some more black pepper if you wish but no salt; you'll find that the cheese and the stock cubes are salty enough and salt will only be needed if you are substituting the stock.
- Add enough water to cover the potatoes almost but not entirely; take care that there is no cheese over the water, because it will burn.
- Put the pot in a cold oven and heat to 150°C (300°F) for 10 min; NB Glass will crack in a preheated oven.
- Then turn the oven up to 250°C (480°F) and leave for 1 h 10 min or until the water evaporates in half.
- Take the pot out of the oven and leave to cool a bit; don't serve immediately because the dish will be incredibly hot; you may also leave it in the oven for some time after it has been turned off.
