Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 4 servings
- 200 g breadcrumbs
- 80 g Parmigiano Reggiano DOP
- 1 clove garlic
- parsley
- salt
- extra virgin olive oil
- 800 g chicken breast
- 400 g potatoes
- 400 g zucchini
Preparation
- Step 1Place the whole potatoes with their skin in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until halfway done, about 10-15 minutes depending on size.
- Step 2Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.
- Step 3In a bowl combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Add a pinch of salt, the minced garlic clove, and the chopped parsley. Mix together by hand.
- Step 4Trim, wash, and cut the raw zucchini into large pieces.
- Step 5In a bowl place the chicken breast cut into cubes, the zucchini pieces, and the parboiled potato cubes.
- Step 6Add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and mix by hand. Then add the prepared breadcrumb mixture and stir with hands or a spoon until all ingredients are well coated.
- Step 7Transfer the contents of the bowl to an oiled baking dish or one lined with parchment paper. Spread everything out in a single layer so the pieces do not overlap. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumb mixture over the top.
- Step 8 · 200°C / 392°F · 30-35 minBake in a preheated fan-assisted oven at 200°C for 30-35 minutes. For the last 5 minutes turn on the grill function until a golden, crispy crust forms on the surface.
- Step 9Remove from the oven and serve the gratinated chicken with potatoes and zucchini while still hot.
Notes
- The potatoes should be only parboiled, not fully cooked.
- Do not precook the zucchini.
- You can substitute turkey breast for chicken.
- Alternative potato parboiling: peel, cube, and boil in lightly salted water for 10 minutes or microwave for 7 minutes at 800W.
- You may add cubed eggplant but par-cook it first.
- Parmigiano can be replaced with grated aged pecorino.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or polenta flour if desired.
