Notes
Lightly pound the chicken breasts so they become more even and bake uniformly. Season the potatoes and onion as well, since they form the base of the dish and absorb the flavor of the chicken. Spread the creamy topping well so it gratins evenly. Oven time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken; if needed, bake a few more minutes until well browned and fully cooked.
