Ingredients
Scale
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
Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken and potatoes.
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a separate large bowl, combine halved baby potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss well so that the potatoes are fully coated.
- Arrange in baking dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of a baking dish or sheet pan. Arrange the coated potatoes around the chicken in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes and chicken. Serve hot for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for juicier meat if preferred.
- Make sure potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Parmesan cheese adds a nice nutty flavor and helps crisp the potatoes.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright finish but can be substituted with dried parsley if needed.
- You can add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for extra freshness.
