Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 pieces)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (half of the total)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (half of the total)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Potatoes
- 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (half of the total)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (remaining half)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Prep Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated. Spread the potatoes evenly on one side of the prepared baking dish.
- Prep Chicken: Drizzle the chicken breasts with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Rub the chicken with the other half of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Place the chicken breasts on the other side of the baking dish.
- Bake: Roast the chicken and potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
- Finish: Once cooked, brush both the chicken and potatoes with the melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor and texture.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the dish hot for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- To make this meal gluten free, ensure your Italian seasoning blend does not contain any hidden gluten ingredients.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness of potatoes and avoid drying out the chicken.
