Tips
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.
Stappenplan
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds.
Place the chicken breast in a deep bowl. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook for 6-7 minutes until cooked through.
Set the chicken aside.
In the same frying pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring with a whisk for about 1 minute. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth.
Spread half of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the potato slices in rows and pour over the remaining sauce.
Cover the dish with a sheet of parchment paper and then with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Distribute the chicken on top, followed by the green pesto, a layer of grated cheese, tomato slices, and grated cheese.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Optionally, garnish with green pesto and fresh parsley.
