Classic comfort food gets a lighter lemony twist!  This chicken and potato bake is creamy, comforting, and guaranteed to fill you up and put a smile on your face!


Classic comfort food flavors come together in this lemon chicken and potato bake… with the bright twist of adding lemon slices 🙂

Tis the season for comfort food… and to me nothing says comfort food more than a casserole! Casseroles or bakes remind me of sitting around the family dinner table as a kid.

This lemon chicken and potato bake is a bright and fresh take on a hearty comfort food dish. It'll soon be a family favorite!!
Just put all your ingredients in a large bowl and toss with your soup mixture

I used my food processor with the slicing blade to slice my potatoes super thin, but a mandolin or some serious chopping skills would work too, just make sure your potatoes are thin enough to fully cook.

Yukon gold potatoes work really well here, but red skin potatoes would be good too!

Pour into a greased casserole dish and sort of tuck some lemon slices on top

Cover and bake for an hour, until the potatoes are tender.  I wanted the top of my bake to be a little crispy, so I took the foil off and broiled on high for a few minutes.

I found that some chopped parsley really gave this a fresh taste 😀

This dish would pair wonderfully with my Toasted Hazelnut Brussels Sprouts, or Garlic Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms!

This lemon chicken and potato bake is a bright and fresh take on a hearty comfort food dish. It'll soon be a family favorite!!

Ingredients

  • 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme minced
  • 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary minced
  • 1.5 lbs . Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced (no thicker than 1/8")
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1.5 lbs . boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced and halved (into half coins)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Add soup and milk to a bowl and whisk to combine well. Add chopped parsley, rosemary and thyme and stir well.
  • In a separate large bowl, add potatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken pieces. Pour in the soup mixture, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to combine until evenly coated.
  • Transfer mixture to a 13x9" baking dish. Tuck lemon wedges into the mixture randomly across the top. Then cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for about 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the foil, broil the casserole for an extra 2-3 minutes to crisp the top, watching very carefully so that it does not burn.

Chef Tips

** You could easily substitute red skin potatoes for the yukon gold, white or yellow onion for the red, and you could use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom.

    Amanda, you’ve done it again!!!! AGAIN! My husband LOVES lemon chicken and he got me to LOVE it too, and I am ALL the way there with the potato obsession, (you made me want potatoes and it’s 9:30 AM!! Thats even worse than PM isn’t it?)- well not for hashbrowns…. okay anyway- these pics are insane!! I’d love to know what kind of camera you have? I have a Nikon 3100 …. your pics look SO good though- you’re great at styling them!! The lighting is awesome too. Cheers!

      Lol I think we should have potatoes all day 🙂 You have me smiling so big right now, thank you!! I have a Canon EOS Rebel SL1 and if I’m remembering correctly, these pics were shot with my new 24mm f/2.8 lens I got for Christmas 😀 Ooooh Nikon’s are great cameras, and you have a great eye for photography as well 🙂 I lucked out on the lighting on this one… it was the perfect amount of sunny lighting that I diffused with a white sheet (so technical huh? lol) and I had to take my pics on our bed (the only place that gets decent natural light in our house). Anyway… I’ve seriously been craving those Samoa cookies of yours allllllll day 🙂

        I am dying! It’s so funny to hear about the lighting struggles once in a while because I have the SAME issue! (Ahem, I’ve had to take pics in the bathroom before when the lighting has been best there… SHHHH… don’t tell. Even though I just posted that on the internet….) I’m going to have to learn how to diffuse light with a sheet! I have the worst time with lighting- especially in the winter, it’s terrible. I’ve given up trying to take them at night, I got a cheap light box but you can’t beat natural light mannnnn!

          Lmao, girl that is too funny about the bathroom 🙂 I love it! I wonder if other bloggers take their food pics in “odd” places? Ugh, yes winter light is definitely not the best… it’s either too gloomy or too bright and harsh. A light box was on my list of things to get, but I’m wondering now if I should just skip it and just get some cute backgrounds instead lol. Natural light is just so amazing… so I’ll keep taking picture of my leftovers lol 🙂
