Hi Marjorie thanks for trying my baked chicken and potato casserole. Please try more recipes on my site: https://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-index-gallery/

Yes!

Any substitute?
Ranch is it ranch dressing tat comes in bottled?
Please advise.
Thanks.
I made this recipe tonight. I had to triple it for my family. It tastes AMAZING, but it was full of liquid. Like I had to use a slotted spoon to serve from so much juice in the bottom. What could I have possibly done wrong? I added no water at all. I simply tripled the recipe as it states.
Hi Michelle, I believe the water comes from the chicken. Did you pat dry the chicken. Or were the potatoes wet? Pat dry with water and you should be good.
Hi
Wanted to ask if I can use cooked chicken?
Will it affect the baking time?
I don’t recommend, it won’t taste good with cooked chicken.
