Potato Gratin With Chicken Broth, Garlic and Thyme image

Pair your lamb roast with a delicious potato gratin and broiled asparagus.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 garlic cloves, peeled
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme leaves
4 pounds starchy potatoes, such as russets, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups canned or cartoned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • With motor running, drop garlic through the feeder tube of a food processor to mince. Scrape down sides of bowl. With motor running, add oil through feeder tube; continue to process. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in thyme and set aside. Switch to the slicing blade and slice the potatoes (or thinly slice them with a knife).
  • Brush a little of the garlic oil over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Make 4 layers in this order: potatoes, a generous brushing of the oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Slowly add broth at one corner to avoid washing off garlic and herbs.
  • Bake until most of the broth has been absorbed, about 45 minutes. To brown, move pan to middle rack and broil until spotty brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Let rest so potatoes continue to absorb liquid, about 10 minutes. May be made ahead, held at room temperature while roast cooks, then reheated.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a good-quality white wine, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is another important ingredient in this dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all good choices.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is baked. The cheese will start to set as it cools, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Au gratin chicken bake is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your au gratin chicken bake is perfect every time.
