Creamy Tuscan Chicken and Potatoes Casserole

Ingredients

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
• In a pot bring water to boil, add a teaspoon of salt and add cut up potatoes; cook them for approximately 15 minutes, then drained and set aside.
• Heat up cooking oil in a skillet.
• Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Add chicken to the skillet and cook on each side until browned for approximately 3-4 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
• Discard all but a tablespoon of fat from the skillet and add garlic. Cook for about a minute and then pour in the heavy cream.
• Let the cream cook for a couple of minutes until thickened up (about 5 minutes). Then add spinach and tomatoes and mix well.
• Turn off the heat and add Parmesan cheese, mix until melted and well combined with the sauce. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
• Prepare a casserole dish big enough to hold 6 chicken thighs and potatoes; spray it generously with cooking spray. 
• Add potatoes to the casserole dish; pour the sauce over the potatoes and place chicken on top of it.
• Transfer the dish into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the internal thermometer shows 165F and the potatoes are fork-tender.
• While your chicken and potatoes are baking, add cut up bacon to a clean skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy.
• Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked, remove the casserole dish from the oven, sprinkle with bacon, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
