Discover a savory dish that will surely impress your family and friends – Surprise Chicken with Potato Rounds. This simple yet flavorful recipe can quickly become your favorite, ideal for a quick dinner or a special lunch. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:
- 600 g boneless chicken breast or thighs
- 500 g potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 100 g grated cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Spices of choice (paprika, garlic powder, oregano)

Preparation:
1. Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken into medium-thick slices, as for schnitzels, but do not pound them. It is important to keep the texture of the meat to achieve a delicious surprise inside. If using thighs, the cutting is similar, and the meat will be extra juicy.

2. Peel the potatoes and slice them into rounds about 1 cm thick. Wash them well under cold water to remove the starch, which will help achieve crispier potatoes in the oven.

3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add your favorite spices. If you want a more intense flavor, you can also add some garlic powder or paprika.

4. Prepare another bowl with the breadcrumbs and grated cheese, mixing them well. This will be the coating that adds a golden and crispy crust to the chicken.

5. Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a large baking dish, add the two tablespoons of olive oil and coat the bottom well.

6. Take each slice of chicken, dip it first in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, making sure it is well coated. Place the chicken slices in the prepared dish, leaving a little space between them.

7. Then, place the potato rounds in the same dish around the chicken. Season them with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

8. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken becomes golden and crispy, and the potatoes are well cooked and browned.

Serving suggestion: Serve the Surprise Chicken with Potato Rounds alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a contrast of textures and colors. You can add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce to complete this delicious dish.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as Parmesan or mozzarella, to add a personal touch. Also, add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a more aromatic flavor.
