Rustic chicken with potatoes is a cozy and aromatic dish rooted in European countryside cuisine. This combination of simple ingredients reveals its full potential when properly prepared. Tender chicken marinated in honey, lemon, and soy sauce develops a delicious caramel crust, while the potatoes absorb rich spice aromas. Cheese added at the end gives the dish creaminess and softness. This meal is perfect for family dinners, warming with its rich flavor and homely comfort, especially on cool evenings when you crave something hearty and soulful.

Mix spices, salt, pepper, garlic, and soy sauce together; pour this mixture over thickly sliced potatoes, mix with hands and place the potatoes in a tight bag. Also pour the remaining marinade into the bag. Tie the ends of the bag and shake thoroughly. Leave to marinate. The time depends on how urgent the preparation is. Some housewives marinate for a day, but a couple of hours is enough.

Before cooking, preheat the oven for 15 minutes. Lightly grease the dish with vegetable oil, first layer the potatoes, then the chicken. The layer should not be too high. You can also slightly 'sink' the chicken into the potatoes. Once ready, sprinkle the dish with grated cheese and cover it to let the cheese melt.
