  • Transfer the onion and potato to a baking dish, arranging them evenly to form a base layer.
  • Dice two chicken breasts into small cubes, season with salt, pepper and spices, and spread them over the potato and onion layer.
  • In a bowl, whisk two eggs with Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, dried thyme, turmeric and paprika until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the yogurt and egg sauce over the chicken, potato and onion in the baking dish, making sure it covers the chicken and reaches the edges.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake at 200∘C for about 40 minutes so the chicken cooks through and the sauce sets gently.
  • Remove the foil, sprinkle 120 g of grated hard cheese or mozzarella over the hot surface, then arrange tomato slices on top and add a little more cheese over the tomatoes.
  • Return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for a further 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the tomatoes have softened.
  • Take the dish out of the oven, let it stand briefly, then sprinkle finely chopped fresh herbs over the top.
  • Serve the bake hot, cutting into portions that reveal the layers of potato, onion, chicken, creamy sauce, cheese and tomato.
