Ingredients

Casserole Base

  • 6 large potatoes peeled and sliced into 2mm rounds
  • 1 kg ground chicken
  • 6 slices yellow cheese
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley chopped

Meat Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Cream Sauce

  • 150 ml sour cream 12% fat
  • 150 ml water
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a skillet, sauté the ground chicken with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, grated garlic, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, salt, and pepper until cooked through.
  • Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into thin slices about 2 mm thick.
  • In a 3.5-liter baking dish, assemble a layer of sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cooked meat and 3 slices of cheese. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, the remaining meat, and 3 slices of cheese. Finish with a final layer of sliced potatoes on top.
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing 150 ml sour cream, 150 ml water, 1 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and 2 tsp onion powder together.
  • Pour the cream sauce evenly over the top layer of potatoes.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F), top and bottom heat, for about 70 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving so it sets and holds its shape when sliced.

Notes

  • Delicious served with Greek yogurt or pickled beets.
  • Mushroom variation: Substitute the ground meat with fresh mushrooms sautéed in butter with green parsley.
