Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for the chicken
- 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil for the potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat it evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned chicken on one side of the baking sheet and spread the potatoes on the other side in a single layer.
- Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle some extra Parmesan over the chicken and potatoes, then broil for a few minutes to create a golden crust.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and spices for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Experiment with potato varieties for different textures and flavors. For crispier potatoes, spread them out properly on the baking sheet.
