Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the chicken with olive oil and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Assemble on the Pan: Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the potatoes on the other side in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to brown evenly. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
- Optional Finishing Touch: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes, then switch the oven to broil to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan meal!
Notes
- Make sure to flip the potatoes halfway for even roasting and caramelization.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked for safety and juiciness.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- This recipe can be made with chicken thighs as a substitute for breasts for a juicier result.
