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
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 to ensure proper browning. In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Assemble on the Pan: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the potatoes evenly on the other side in a single layer to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
- Optional Finishing Touch: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes and switch the oven to broil. Broil until a golden crust forms on top, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven. Garnish the chicken and potatoes with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your flavorful one-pan meal!
Notes
- Use baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best roasting results; larger potatoes can be cut into smaller pieces.
- Chicken thighs can be substituted for breasts; adjust cooking time if using bone-in pieces.
- Broil only at the end to create a crispy crust; monitor carefully to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the seasoning mix for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Leftovers store well and can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
