Method
Preparation
- Prepare & Roast VegetablesPreheat oven to 180 °C (356 °F). Toss the potato slices and bell pepper with oil, 1 tsp salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and 2 Tbsp flour. Spread evenly on a lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until tender and lightly golden. Meanwhile, sauté onions with a teaspoon of oil until translucent (~5 minutes).
- Layer Chicken RoundsReduce oven to remain at 180 °C. On a clean tray or baking dish, arrange six even rounds of roasted potato slices. Top each with a spoonful of sautéed onions and bell pepper. Season thinly sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper, then place one piece atop each round. Brush lightly with oil.
- Add Cheese & BakeSprinkle grated cheese over each chicken round. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Make Garlic-Dill SauceWhile the rounds bake, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Chill until serving.
- Serve & EnjoyArrange the plated rounds and drizzle or spoon the sauce on top or alongside. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
- Can I bake everything at once?Yes – roast veggies and bake chicken on the same sheet; chicken may brown faster, so monitor carefully.
- Is this recipe gluten-free?Yes – ensure you use gluten-free flour or omit it entirely.
- What cheese melts best here?Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or provolone provide smooth, stringy meltiness.
- Can I prep in advance?Absolutely – roast potatoes and veggies ahead; assemble then bake before serving.
- Can I make the sauce ahead?Yes – prepare and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before serving.
- How do I store leftovers?Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.

- What if I don’t have Provençal herbs?Use Italian seasoning, oregano, thyme, or rosemary as alternatives.
- Can I add other veggies?Yes – add mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach for variety.
