Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into ⅛-¼ inch slices.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg.
Add the potatoes and stir to coat.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to a large oven-safe pan or baking dish, reserving the cream mixture.
Place the chicken in the remaining cream mixture and turn to coat. Arrange the chicken skin-side up in the pan.
Fan out the potato slices around the chicken so the edges stand slightly upright. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the top and tuck in the garlic cloves.
Cover tightly with a lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Spoon some of the cream mixture over the exposed potatoes, re-cover, and bake for another 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake uncovered 25-30 minutes more, until the potatoes are lightly browned and the chicken reaches 175°F.
Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and herbs, if desired.

Notes

Make sure the chicken skin is crispy by baking uncovered towards the end.
This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
