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 and Topping
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the chicken and potatoes evenly.
- Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, coating each piece evenly to enhance flavor.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well coated to infuse flavor and help with roasting.
- Arrange in Pan: Spread the seasoned potatoes on a large baking sheet or roasting pan, placing them cut side down for maximum crispiness. Lay the chicken breasts on top or beside the potatoes.
- Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Add Parmesan: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes, allowing it to melt and create a delicious crust.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and fresh flavor, then serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use skin-on chicken for a crispier texture if preferred, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
- Baby Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well and become crispy, but red potatoes work equally well.
- For extra garlicky flavor, roast whole garlic cloves alongside the potatoes.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed green vegetables for added freshness and nutrition.
