French chicken with potatoes in the oven
Despite the eloquent name, the French have never heard of such a dish as French chicken with potatoes baked in the oven. But this in no way diminishes its excellent taste, emphasized by a bouquet of aromatic spices.
In the classic version of cooking from vegetables, only onions and potatoes are used, but in different original versions this dish can be found with the addition of fried mushrooms or fresh tomatoes.
Preparing the dish “French Chicken with Potatoes in the Oven”
We prepare the necessary products. Wash the chicken fillet with cold running water and dry with a paper or cotton towel.
Peel the onion and cut into rings about 0.5 mm thick.
Peel the potatoes, cut out the “eyes” and cut into circles about 0.5-0.7 cm thick.
Grind the mixture of peppers and dried oregano in a special mill or pound in a mortar.
The secret to preparing the classic version of the dish “French Chicken with Potatoes in the Oven” is that all the ingredients are laid out in layers in a certain sequence. We start by placing onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil.
The next layer is potatoes cut into slices, which should be topped with salt and pepper to taste.
Next comes a layer of marinated chicken fillet. After this, cover the baking sheet with foil and place it in an oven heated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes.
While the French chicken with potatoes is simmering in the oven, grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater.
When the meat is almost ready (after 20 minutes), remove the baking sheet from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle the chicken with cheese and put it back in the oven to brown.
When the cheese on top has melted beautifully and an appetizing golden brown crust has appeared, the dish can be served.
How to cook French potatoes in a slow cooker
I like this dish because it can be prepared anywhere and everywhere. If there is an oven, then it’s in it, if not, it’s not a problem. We can cook it in the microwave or double boiler, or even in a frying pan. Yes, there won’t be that beautiful golden brown crust, but the food will still be very tasty. So let's cook it in a unique unit - a multicooker.

We take:
- Chicken fillet - 3 pcs.
- Potatoes 6-7 pcs.
- Onion - 1 pc.
- Hard cheese – 150 g
- Mayonnaise - 3-4 tbsp. l
- Salt, spices - to taste
- Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l
Wash the chicken fillet and dry it. Then rub each piece with salt and sprinkle with spices. Place in a bowl and leave for a few minutes.
Pour some vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl. Turn on the “Frying” mode, set the temperature to 160 °C and the time to 15 minutes. Click "Start". You can also use the “Bake” function.
Place the chicken in a bowl and with the lid open, fry it on one side for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, let's take care of the vegetables. Peel the onion from the outer skin, wash it and cut it into large rings.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut it into circles. If the potatoes are very large, you can cut them into half rings. Let's salt it a little.
Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. To prepare this dish, you can use ready-made grated cheese in a package.
15 minutes have passed. The chicken was fried on one side. Turn it over with the brown side up.
Place onion rings on the meat. The circles can be placed whole, or they can be disassembled into thin rings. It's just how you like it.
Well, put potato mugs on top of the onions. We lay them out in several layers. So that the entire surface is covered with them.
Lubricate the potatoes generously with mayonnaise. Spread it over the entire layer. Mayonnaise will add softness and tenderness to the food.
Sprinkle shavings of grated cheese on top of the mayonnaise layer. Distribute it over the entire surface. Having melted, together with mayonnaise, the cheese will create an unusually soft and fluffy delicious top. Close the lid. Set the “Baking” mode, temperature 160°C and time 30 minutes. Click “Start”.
After 30 minutes, a signal sounds informs us that our food is ready. Open the lid. Let the dish sit for a while.
Then cut into portions. Place portions on plates. You can sprinkle dill and parsley on top. And we serve it to the table.
As you can see, our dish turned out appetizing, tender and very tasty. The meat turned out juicy and soft, the potatoes were rich in juice and the aroma of spices. The mayonnaise-cheese cap, although not as rosy as in the oven, is just as velvety and tasty. Enjoying such a hot dish is a pleasure.
