A tasty and healthy entrée of beans, chicken, broccoli, carrots, and potatoes with a crunchy layer of cheese on top!

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the black beans, broccoli, carrots, and chicken.
  4. Place the potato slices in the bottom of the dish, followed by the bean and chicken mixture.
  5. Top with a layer of cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  7. Serve hot.

Tips for Bean and Chicken Potato Bake

  • Aim for potato slices of even thickness so they soften at the same pace; thicker slices may still be firm when the topping is ready.
  • The finished bake should have tender potatoes and melted cheese with a few golden spots; a dry, browned surface can mean it has baked too long.
  • Let the bake rest briefly before serving so the layers settle and portions hold together more easily.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked white wine such as Pinot Grigio
Its fresh, light character complements the chicken and vegetables without overpowering the cheesy potato topping.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell whether the potatoes are done?

They should be tender when pierced with a fork, with no firm or crunchy center.

Can I assemble this ahead of time?

Yes. Cover and refrigerate the assembled dish, then bake it within a day; allow extra baking time if it is still cold.

Can I make this in individual portions?

Yes. Divide the layers among small oven-safe dishes and check for tender potatoes and melted, lightly golden cheese.
