Ingredients

• Chicken legs – 4 pcs.
• Potatoes – 700 g
• Hard cheese – 70 g
• Tomatoes – 3 pcs.
• Bulb onions – 2 pcs.
• Vegetable oil – 3-4 tbsp
• Dried rosemary – 1 teaspoon

Directions

1. We prepare all the necessary products.

   

2. Season the chicken legs with salt and ground pepper.
3. Peel the onions and cut into half rings.
4. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices about 2 mm thick. If the potatoes are cut into thick circles, then they will not have time to cook.
5. Preheat a frying pan, pour vegetable oil into it and fry the chicken legs from all sides until golden brown.
6. After 10-15 minutes, add the chopped onion to the fried legs and continue frying, stirring occasionally so that the onions are fried evenly, for about 2-3 minutes more.

   

7. Then add the potatoes. Stir so that the chicken legs are on top and the raw potatoes underneath. We continue to fry for 10 minutes.
8. Cut the tomatoes into slices.
9. Then mix the contents of the pan so that the chicken legs are on the bottom and the potatoes on top. Salt, spread a layer of tomatoes on top. Salt the tomatoes and sprinkle with rosemary.
10. Sprinkle the contents of the pan with coarse grated cheese. Cover the pan with a lid and bring the chicken and potatoes to readiness over low heat, that is, until the cheese melts.
11. After 7-10 minutes, the cheese will completely melt, and the dish will be ready. Remove the pan from the heat.

    

12. Serve chicken with potatoes, tomatoes and cheese to the table.
