Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick.
- 2
Pound the chicken fillets to an even thickness of roughly ½ inch. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
- 3
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a greased baking dish. Layer the potato slices on top and season lightly with salt.
- 4
Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the potatoes to coat them completely, then sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese on top.
- 5
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
- 6
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Swap mayonnaise for sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangier flavour. Adding sliced onions between the layers brings extra depth. Leftovers reheat beautifully in the oven the next day.
