Prepare the main ingredients
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into medium pieces, suitable for baking. Ensure they are similar in size for even cooking.
Slice the potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into slices or medium pieces, ensuring uniformity for consistent cooking.
Chop the onion
Slice the onion thinly or into medium chunks, depending on your preference. It will caramelize beautifully in the oven.
Dice the tomato
Cut the tomato into small cubes, perfect for spreading evenly across the dish.
Season with spices
In a large bowl, add the chicken, potatoes, onion, and tomato. Generously season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and paprika.
Add minced garlic
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the ingredients for an extra burst of flavor.
Drizzle with olive oil
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the mixture, enhancing the flavors and helping the ingredients roast to perfection.
Mix well
Stir all the ingredients together to ensure they're evenly coated with the seasonings and oil.
Layer in the baking dish
Arrange the onion and potatoes evenly at the bottom of a large baking dish.
Add the chicken
Place the chicken pieces on top of the potato and onion layer.
Cover and bake
Cover the dish with aluminum foil, sealing the edges tightly to retain moisture. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 40 minutes.
Prepare the cheese topping
While the chicken bakes, mix the shredded mozzarella, egg, diced tomato, and mayonnaise in a small bowl until well combined.
Remove the dish from the oven
Carefully remove the dish from the oven after 40 minutes and discard the aluminum foil.
Add the topping
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Return the dish to the oven uncovered.
Grill to perfection
Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!
For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before grilling. It adds a delightful crunch and depth to the dish.
