It can be considered a modern "moussaka," with all the ingredients mixed together, without the need for layers. It is an ideal dish for lunch or dinner that will satisfy both adults and children.

The ingredients needed for our frittata are:

- 5 eggs

- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 pieces of boneless chicken thigh (about 300 g)
- 100 g mozzarella (grated)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- A bunch of fresh dill
- Salt, to taste

- Flour (for dusting the pan)

The history of frittata shows us that this dish has deep roots in culinary traditions, being an ingenious way to use leftovers from previous meals. Over time, frittata has evolved, allowing cooks to express their creativity and experiment with ingredient combinations. This chicken and potato frittata recipe is an enriched version, full of flavor and texture.

Step by step for a perfect frittata

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by peeling the potatoes. Wash them well and slice them thinly, as for frying. It is recommended to use pink potatoes, as they have a better texture and cook evenly.
After that, wash the chicken and cut it into cubes. Make sure to use boneless thigh, as it is more tender and cooks faster.

2. Boiling the potatoes and chicken
Put the potatoes and chicken cubes in a pot of water, add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of oil. Let them boil for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes become slightly soft, but without cooking them completely. After boiling, drain them well and let them cool slightly.

3. Preparing the onion and garlic
Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it finely. Do the same with the garlic cloves. In a frying pan, add a little oil and a glass of water, then sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and soft. It is important not to let the water evaporate completely, so the onion does not fry.

4. Mixing the ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or mixer until frothy. Add the grated mozzarella, sour cream, and finely chopped dill. Season with salt to taste. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
After the potatoes and chicken have cooled, add them to the bowl with the eggs, along with the onion and garlic mixture. Gently mix everything so that the ingredients are well integrated.

5. Baking the frittata
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a pan with oil and dust it with flour. Pour the frittata mixture into the pan and level the surface. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the frittata is golden and firm to the touch.

6. Serving
Once the frittata is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it into servings. It is delicious served warm, but can also be eaten cold, making it an excellent choice for a picnic or a quick snack. Personally, I like to serve it with a white cabbage salad or with sour pickles, like cucumbers or bell peppers, which perfectly complement the frittata's flavor.

Useful tips
- If you want to personalize the frittata, you can add vegetables like peppers, spinach, or zucchini.
- Substitute mozzarella with feta cheese for a saltier and more intense flavor.
- The frittata can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, and its flavor intensifies as it sits.
- You can also experiment with different herbs, such as basil or parsley, to give the dish a different aroma.

Nutritional benefits
This frittata is an excellent source of protein due to the eggs and chicken. The potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, which ensure the energy needed for an active day. Dill adds a boost of vitamins and minerals, while the cheese contributes a delicious taste and essential calcium for bone health.
