instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

    3

    Add the cubed chicken to the pot, seasoning with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned.

    4

    Peel and slice the potatoes into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices.

    5

    In a large baking dish, layer half of the potatoes on the bottom, then spread the chicken mixture evenly over the top.

    6

    Pour the chicken broth over the chicken layer, and then top with the remaining potato slices.

    7

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.

    8

    After 40 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.

    9

    Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the potatoes are tender.

    10

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
