Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)
• 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the potatoes and chicken:
   • Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8-inch thick).
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary.
3. Sauté the onions and garlic:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Assemble the bake:
   • In a large baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes evenly.
   • Pour the sautéed onions and garlic over the potatoes.
   • Place the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
5. Make the creamy sauce:
   • In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. You can also add a bit of garlic powder or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
   • Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
6. Bake the dish:
   • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
   • Remove the foil, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve:
