Serving Suggestions

If you’re looking to add some variety to your chicken and potato bake meal, here are some serving suggestions that can complement and enhance the flavours of the dish:

  1. Roasted Vegetables: Roast some seasonal vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots, and bell peppers seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will provide some added texture, colour, and taste to your meal. For vegetarians, replace chicken with some roasted tofu or tempeh slices.
  2. Garlic Bread: A side of garlic bread can bring a little bit of crunch to your meal while also adding an extra layer of flavour.
  3. Zesty Salad: You can create a zesty salad by tossing some greens, cherry tomatoes, corn, and cucumbers in a zesty dressing. The tanginess of the salad dressing complements the creaminess of the chicken and potato bake.
  4. Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Another veggie-rich alternative is to roast some sweet potatoes with a little bit of cinnamon and brown sugar. They make an excellent side dish for any chicken meal.
  5. Savoury Rice: Cook some brown rice with chicken broth and sauteed onions and garlic to complement your chicken and potato meal. You can also add some sliced almonds and dried cranberries for an added crunch.
  6. Steamed Broccoli: Steamed broccoli adds a nutritious boost to your meal while also providing some texture and colour to the plate.
  7. Grilled Asparagus: Asparagus is one of those veggies that perfectly complement the chicken. Grill them for just a few minutes, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese, and you have an excellent side dish.
  8. Roasted Garlic Mushrooms: Roasted garlic mushrooms are simple yet delicious. Just toss sliced mushrooms with garlic, olive oil, and herbs of your choice, and roast them until they’re browned.
  9. Coleslaw: Coleslaw is a refreshing side that adds some crunch and tanginess to your meal. You can make it at home or buy a pre-made one, as long as it complements the flavours of the chicken and potato bake.

Leftovers

To store leftover chicken and potato bake, it’s essential to let the dish cool down to room temperature, refrigerate it within two hours after it was cooked, and store it in an airtight container. Label the container with the date so you don’t forget when it was stored.

You can keep the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days. However, make sure to reheat it thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before consuming. Reheat it in a preheated oven or microwave to ensure that the chicken and potatoes are warmed through evenly.
