Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the boneless skinless chicken breast cubes with half of the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and one-quarter of the onion powder.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken cubes and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, and toss in the cut potato chunks. Sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, melt three tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in three tablespoons of all-purpose flour to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 5 minutes.
- Once thickened, reduce the heat to low, and add the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth.
- In the greased baking dish, combine the pre-seared chicken and sautéed potatoes. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the bake and place it in the preheated oven to bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.
