Step 1
Preheat the oven at 325 °F / 165 °C / Gas Mark 3
Step 2
Smear a 9 x 13 casserole or baking pan with olive oil. Alternatively, you can also use a cooking spray. Set aside. Pro tip - the oil will prevent the chicken and potatoes from sticking to the pan so make sure to be generous.
Step 3
Thaw the chicken at least an hour before baking. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Chop into 2-inch cubes - Set asidePro tip - Frozen or wet chicken will result in too much liquid in the finished dish
Step 4
In a cup or bowl, combine milk and cream with onion powder, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, and cornstarch - set aside.Pro tip - you will need to stir the mixture again before adding it as the cornstarch will settle to the bottom.
Step 5
Peel and chop potatoes into small 1-inch cubes. Set asidePro tip - if the potatoes are not small they will not cook at the same time as the chicken.
Step 6
In the baking casserole add the chicken, potatoes, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper and make sure it is well distributed in the pan. Pro tip - you can mix this directly in the baking casserole or use a separate mixing bowl.
Step 7
Stir the milk and cream mixture one more time to mix the cornstarch again and evenly pour it all over the casserole.Pro tip - you can add flour instead of cornstarch which makes the gravy thicker.
Step 8
Sprinkle with the three kinds of grated cheeses starting with Parmesan, Cheddar, and Mozarella. Top with more fresh herbs if desired.
Step 9
Cover the casserole with foil and bake for an hour or until the potatoes are tender. Pro tip - if the potatoes are cut small they will cook in an hour or they may take a few minutes longer.
Step 10
Then remove the foil and bake further for 25 to 30 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.Pro tip - cooking uncovered will evaporate excess moisture as well as give the cheese a lovely caramelized color on top. But, keep a close eye to not burn the cheese.
Step 11
This is best served hot with a side salad or side-dish of sauteed veggies.
Step 12
Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave, covered with a wet paper hand towel or kitchen cloth. Pro tip - The moisture in the paper towel helps hydrate the potatoes and chicken.
