Lemon Chicken Caper Potato Casserole

I don’t know about you but I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try on my family. I’m not sure they enjoy it but whatev, I’m the cook in the house. Mostly. Unless my husband decides to take over. Which has been a lot lately. It seems my cooking experiments are undervalued and not so appreciated.

Well, I figure this Lemon Caper Chicken Potato Casserole will be one they will ask for again and again. Who doesn’t love lemon, capers, chicken and potatoes all in one dish? I mean..yum, right?

LEMON CAPER CHICKEN POTATO CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS:

1 can of each condensed cream and mushroom

1/2 cup milk we use skim (pictured whole)
1.5 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced ( 1/4 in thick)
2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 tsp of jarred minced garlic
1 small white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts- we like them long ad thinly sliced
salt and freshly-ground black pepper in mix and a little on top
1 lemon, thinly sliced and halved
2 Tablespoons of Capers

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Add condensed soup and milk to a saucepan and whisk to combine. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering, stirring frequently. When it reaches a simmer, remove from heat and set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, add potatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken. Pour in the condensed soup mixture, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine until the potato and chicken mixture is evenly coated.

Now pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Layer lemon slices into the mixture randomly. I also squeeze a wee bit of lemon juice on top. Sprinkle top of mixture with Capers. Then cover the top of the pan with aluminum foil.

Bake for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender. Carefully remove the foil, and change oven to the high “broil” setting. Broil the casserole for an extra 2-3 minutes to crisp up the top, watching very carefully so that it does not burn.

Remove pan from oven and serve warm. ENJOY!
