Ingrediënten
Slice the potatoes evenly.
Marinate the chicken beforehand in the spices and olive oil, letting it sit for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight) to enhance the flavor.
Ensure the milk is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the sauce. Gradually add the milk to the flour-butter mixture while continuously stirring for a perfectly smooth sauce.
For an extra crispy top, you can add some breadcrumbs to the grated cheese for topping. This will create a golden and crunchy texture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

5 In the same frying pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a whisk for about 1 minute.
