Chicken, Sautéed Shrimp, Red Skin potatoes

Not only is this an easy recipe to put together but it’s also pretty quick. All you need is chicken, shrimp and potatoes, along with 3 sticks of butter (yes three – that’s not a typo!) and some cheese, broccoli and seasonings.

The chicken, shrimp and potatoes are cooked individually, and then they are added to a roasting pan along with the cheese and seasonings. Anyone will find this dish a breeze to prepare – there’s nothing complicated whatsoever.

Put the whole lot in the oven and cook until the cheese is golden brown. By that time, the dish will smell incredible and you won’t be able to resist grabbing a fork and sampling this delicious chicken shrimp bake right away!

It’s not a dish that needs any accompaniments but if you did want to serve some crusty bread with it, that will work for scooping up the melted cheese and wonderful juices.

If you cook the potatoes, chicken and shrimp at the same time, everything will be ready to go into the roasting dish at the same time, then you just add cheese and bake.

Can You Make It Ahead?

Yes, you can prepare this one in advance and then just warm it back up in the oven or in the microwave.

Storage Instructions:

Keep leftovers in the refrigerator and eat within 3 days. You can also freeze it, as long as you thaw it overnight before reheating it. Don’t reheat it from frozen else it will take longer and the shrimp will go tough.

Variations and Substitutes:

Leave out the shrimp if you like, or sub chopped sweet potatoes for the red-skinned potatoes. You can also leave out the broccoli from the main mixture and instead steam it and have it on the side.
