- 400 g of young potatoes;
- ½ pod of red sweet pepper;
- 5-6 cherry tomatoes;

- 100 ml cream;
- 50 g of hard cheese;

How to cook chicken with potatoes in the oven
Put the chicken thighs in a soup pot, pour 1.5 liters of hot water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, an onion, a carrot, half a teaspoon of black peppercorns, salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cook for 40 minutes over low heat.
We take the hips out of the broth, filter the broth through a sieve. You won't need all the broth in the chicken and potatoes recipe in the oven, the rest can be poured into a bowl and frozen - useful for sauces.
Grease the refractory mold with vegetable or olive oil, put the pieces of boiled chicken into the mold.
Carefully wash the young potatoes with a washcloth with an abrasive layer, put in a saucepan, pour boiling water, salt, boil until half cooked. Small tubers are usually cooked for 10 minutes. Throw the boiled potatoes in a colander, then put them in a mold for the chicken.
Finely chop half a pod of sweet paprika, sprinkle the chicken and potatoes with pepper cubes.
Pour 200 ml of cooled chicken broth into a bowl, add wheat flour, mix the ingredients with a whisk to make a homogeneous sauce without lumps of flour.
Pour cream into the sauce, stir, taste, salt to taste.
Pour the sauce into a mold, in the meantime, turn on the oven to heat up to a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius.
Put the cherry tomatoes whole in the form.
Grate the hard cheese on a fine cheese grater, sprinkle the dish with grated cheese so that an appetizing crust forms when baking.
We send the form into a preheated oven for 30 minutes, during which time the sauce will thicken, the cheese will melt, and the potatoes will brown.
Appetizing chicken with potatoes in the oven under white sauce is ready. We take out the dish from the oven, decorate with basil leaves and immediately serve it on the table. Bon Appetit.
By the way, if boiled potatoes have remained in the fridge since yesterday and after the holiday a half-eaten baked chicken or turkey languishes on the shelf, then I advise you to use this recipe and prepare a dish from leftover food. You will make sure that you do not need to throw anything away, because you can cook something worthwhile from yesterday's leftovers!
