One Pot Chicken & Scalloped Potatoes | Recipe image

A one pot chicken dinner recipe featuring bone-in chicken thighs, scalloped red potatoes, and a creamy cheese sauce.

Provided by Kelly Anthony

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds red potatoes (rinsed and dried)
3 tablespoons canola oil (separated)
2 - 2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon TAK Seasoning or your favorite poultry seasoning ((recipe at TheAnthonyKitchen.com))
1 large yellow onion, quartered and sliced into 1/4" pieces
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Fontina cheese
1/4 cup minced flat-leaf Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Cut the potatoes into thin slices, just under a 1/4" thick. Set aside until ready to use.
  • In a large, oven-proof skillet (such as a cast iron skillet), heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium-high heat. Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of canola oil, sprinkle with seasoning and rub to adhere.
  • Place chicken in the skillet, skin-side down, taking care not to overcrowd the pan and searing batches if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown without jostling or moving. Turn chicken over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. Transfer chicken to a large plate, cover with foil and set aside until ready to use.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add the cream and using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, stir, and allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, stirring often for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork. Stir in the Fontina cheese and fresh parsley. Nestle the chicken into the potato mixture skin-side up. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is properly cooked through. Serve and enjoy.
