Chicken Potato Bake

Bake potatoes with chicken: potatoes mixed with garlic and olive oil and baked in a golden brown with tender and juicy chicken legs. This easy recipe for chicken thighs with potatoes is a favorite of the family! It's my recipe for when I need quick ideas for a quick dinner

The cheese in this recipe gathers all the ingredients and gives the casserole that delicious crunchy look. I found that using freshly grated mozzarella works better. However, if you do not have fresh mozzarella, the use of mozzarella bought in the store will also taste good.
It only takes about 25 minutes to cook this chicken potato to finish cooking. I serve it right after taking it out of the oven and I can still hear the sizzle! When I take it out of the oven, it fills the whole house with a delicious of chicken and baked potato..
