Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 pieces)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt, more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 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
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt, more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (shared with chicken)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Prep Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out evenly on one side of the prepared baking pan.
- Prep Chicken: Drizzle the chicken breasts with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Rub them with the rest of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Arrange the chicken breasts on the other side of the pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and roast for 30–35 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Finish: Remove the pan from the oven. Brush both the chicken and potatoes with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and richness.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for a delicious, hearty meal.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or Yukon Gold potatoes; just adjust cooking time if potato size varies significantly.
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked using a meat thermometer for safety and best texture.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To make this dish gluten-free, verify the Parmesan cheese does not contain any additives with gluten.
