Easy Fresh Rosemary Chicken Boulangère

Get ready for this to become a weekday staple for your household, it’s easy to prepare and you have plenty of time to get on with other tasks while it bakes in the oven.

Boulangère is a french term used to describe baking meat, potatoes and onion together as a one pot dish. This is a very simple recipe that offers plenty of flavour to compliment the rosemary chicken!

• Step 1

To start, bring the oil to a medium heat and fry the thinly sliced chicken slices and onion for 4-5 minutes.

• Step 2

Add the garlic and cook for another minute being careful to not burn them. Pour in the stock, rosemary and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Step 3

The trick to successfully cook the boulangère potatoes is to cut them into very thin slices, then it’s time to start layering!

• Step 4

Take one third of the sliced potatoes and create your first layer at the bottom of your ovenproof dish, then layer alternatively with the chicken and sauce. Finish with a double layer of potatoes at the top. 

• Step 5

Pop a lid on the dish if you have one or cover with tin foil. Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C, taking off the cover for the last 10 minutes. You can leave it in longer depending on how the potatoes are cooking, you want them to be tender yet with a golden brown on the edges.
