The star of this dish is the rich and creamy cheesy Béchamel sauce—a luxurious combination of butter, flour, milk, and melty cheese that coats every bite with irresistible flavor. This recipe is inspired by classic French cooking but made easy for home kitchens, using everyday ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

The roasted potatoes come out perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the chicken stays moist and flavorful thanks to the gentle oven roasting method. The cheesy Béchamel sauce adds a decadent touch that elevates the dish into something truly special—creamy, cheesy, and with just the right hint of nutmeg for depth. Whether you’re looking for a weeknight dinner recipe that still feels gourmet, or a dish to impress your guests without spending hours in the kitchen, this recipe delivers. It’s also a fantastic choice for meal prep—simply make a larger batch and enjoy the leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. Pair it with a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or even some crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
