Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Place the halved baby potatoes on a large baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.<\/p>\n Spread them in a single layer and roast for about 20 minutes<\/strong>, until they begin to soften and turn lightly golden.<\/p>\n While the potatoes are roasting, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.<\/p>\n Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, just until they become bright green and slightly tender. Drain well and set aside.<\/p>\n Season the chicken pieces with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.<\/p>\n Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5\u20136 minutes<\/strong>, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and nearly cooked through.<\/p>\n Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.<\/p>\n Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.<\/p>\n Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds<\/strong>, until fragrant.<\/p>\n Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for 1\u20132 minutes<\/strong> to form a smooth roux.<\/p>\n Gradually pour in the chicken stock while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.<\/p>\n Add the milk and continue stirring. Simmer for 3\u20135 minutes<\/strong>, until the sauce thickens enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n Reduce the heat to low.<\/p>\n Stir in the shredded Cheddar, Parmesan, dried oregano, and optional chili flakes. Continue stirring until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.<\/p>\n Transfer the roasted potatoes, broccoli, and cooked chicken to a large baking dish.<\/p>\n Pour the creamy cheese sauce evenly over everything. Gently toss or fold the ingredients together until well coated.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.<\/p>\n Place the baking dish in the 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)<\/strong> oven and bake for 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, until the casserole is hot, bubbling, and the cheese is completely melted.<\/p>\n For a beautifully golden, bubbly top, switch the oven to the broil\/grill setting for 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, watching carefully so the cheese doesn’t burn.<\/p>\n Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.<\/p>\n Serve this cheesy chicken, broccoli, and potato bake with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying family dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ultimate Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Potato Bake This Ultimate Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Potato Bake is the ultimate comfort food!…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8004"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8006,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004\/revisions\/8006"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
