This dish can be prepared if guests suddenly drop by. In the process of nice conversations and heartfelt talks, you will quickly cut all the necessary ingredients, put them in a form, put them in the oven and very soon treat your friends with your delicious creation. Ingredients:
- eight potatoes
- vegetable oil to lubricate the mold
- chicken fillet (you can buy a breast or, for example, a thigh)
- one large onion
- Salt and ground pepper - for your taste
- one big tomato
- mayonnaise - at your discretion
- any hard cheese - 100 grams
Method of preparation:If you are planning to make a casserole using this recipe and are just heading to the supermarket for groceries, we recommend choosing chicken fillet rather than breast or, for example, thigh. After all, in this case you will not have to waste time separating the meat from the bone, which will make cooking faster and less troublesome. So, let's get down to culinary creativity. First, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin circles (about three millimeters thick). Then put them in a frying pan or other form, having previously greased it with a small amount of vegetable oil. In principle, you can do without this, but this will once again "insure" the dish from burning. Now thinly slice the peeled onion and cover the potatoes with it. The third layer of the casserole consists of fillet cut into thin slices, and the fourth - of tomato circles. If you are using cherry tomatoes, you can simply divide them into two parts. So, when all the layers of the dish are placed in the dish, pour a small amount of water into it (so that it only slightly covers the bottom), sprinkle the products with vegetable or olive oil and sprinkle with salt, as well as black (ground) pepper. The last ingredients can be added not at the end, but sprinkled with each new "layer" of the casserole. The dish is baked in the oven at a temperature of no more than 220 degrees. After half an hour, remove the dish from the oven and check how ready the dish is. If the potatoes and meat are already soft, sprinkle the casserole with grated hard cheese, pour mayonnaise and put it in the oven for another fifteen minutes. If you want the dish to be covered with a very dense golden crust, take a little more cheese than the recipe suggests (150-200 grams) and mayonnaise.

Fillet does not require long cutting, so after it is ready, cut it into thin slices. Peel the onion and carrot, which will then need to be grated. Fry the diced onion until transparent in olive oil, and then add the carrots and stew the vegetables until done. Lightly salt them, pour in a little boiled water and cook under a closed lid. Now it's the meat's turn: grind it using a meat grinder, sprinkle with spices and add a few tablespoons of broth so that the mixture does not turn out too dry. Peel the potatoes beforehand, then boil them in slightly salted water, drain the remaining liquid and mash the vegetable. Then add the cream and make a puree, but make sure it is not too liquid, otherwise the dish will fall apart. Usually, mashed potatoes are made with the addition of butter, but this ingredient is not included in this recipe, since the dairy product makes the potatoes tender and holds their shape well.

As for salt and spices, put them at your discretion, because everyone has their own taste. First, you need to separate the breast meat from the bone. You can do it in two ways: the first is to boil the chicken, remove the pulp and put it through a meat grinder, the second is to cut the raw meat into small pieces and fry it in a saucepan in vegetable oil, seasoning it with salt and ground pepper. Then put the onion cut into cubes or half rings here, and when it becomes translucent, add curry and mix all the ingredients well. If you want the products to be very soft, pour four tablespoons of boiling water and simmer them for a couple of minutes under the lid. Peel the potatoes and boil them in slightly salted water, then drain them and mash the product with a masher or pass it through a press. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk, add flour to them and add the resulting mixture to the puree, mixing everything thoroughly. Now the ingredients for the casserole are ready, all that remains is to form a dish from them.
