grated Parmesan optional · to taste

Method

Cut the chicken breast and thighs into cubes. Season well and set aside.
Add the diced potatoes and chopped red onion to a large lined baking tray. Season well with the listed herbs and cooking spray, then bake in a preheated oven at 200C/400F for 20-22 minutes. They don't need to be fully cooked.
Once cooked, spread the marinated chicken over the potatoes in a single layer, spray with cooking spray and return to the oven for 25 minutes, until perfectly cooked and juicy.
Remove from the oven and add evaporated or regular milk, light cream cheese and a generous handful of mozzarella.
The residual heat from the tray will help the creamy sauce melt and thicken. Mix everything until fully combined, creamy and the cheese has melted.
Garnish, then divide into 8 or more portions depending on your calorie needs and ENJOY!
