Ingredients

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
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 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 and make cleanup easy.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels for a better sear and crispiness. In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub each chicken breast with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture, making sure all sides are well covered.
  3. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so that each potato piece is thoroughly coated in the flavorful mixture.
  4. Assemble on the Pan: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the coated potatoes evenly on the other side, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  5. Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, use a spatula to flip the potatoes for even crisping. Check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) with a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
  6. Optional Finishing Touch: If you’d like an extra cheesy, golden finish, sprinkle additional Parmesan over both the chicken and potatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking and broil briefly until beautifully browned.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Serve everything hot and enjoy the comforting flavors!

Notes

  • You can swap chicken breasts for thighs if preferred for juicier meat.
  • For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding them on the pan.
  • Substitute Yukon Gold potatoes with red potatoes or even sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
  • Add extra veggies like green beans or asparagus to the pan for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
