1 bell pepper, diced
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional topping:
½–1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
2 tablespoons sour cream or yogurt for extra creaminess
Instructions
Prepare the chicken
Cut the chicken fillet into small cubes.
In a bowl, mix chicken with soy sauce, minced garlic, curry powder, black pepper, dill, and parsley.
Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes for better flavor.
Prepare the vegetables
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
Chop the onion, celery, and bell pepper.
Pre-cook the potatoes (optional but recommended)
Boil the potato slices in salted water for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Drain and set aside.
Assemble the casserole
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Spread half of the potatoes on the bottom.
Add the marinated chicken and vegetables.
Cover with the remaining potatoes.
Add topping (optional)
Spread a little sour cream or yogurt over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the top is golden.
Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Tips for Success
Slice potatoes thinly so they cook evenly.
Marinating the chicken improves flavor and tenderness.
Add a splash of cream or milk if you prefer a softer, creamier casserole.
