Description
A flavorful one-pan dinner featuring tender, herb-seasoned chicken and crispy garlic-Parmesan potatoes—easy to prepare and perfect for a wholesome weeknight meal.
Ingredients
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
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 (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line or grease a large baking sheet.
- Dry chicken with paper towels. Combine Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub chicken with olive oil and coat with seasoning.
- In a bowl, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken on one side of baking sheet, potatoes on the other. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches 165 °F (74 °C).
- Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes with extra Parmesan for golden crust.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Use thighs for a juicier option—adjust bake time as needed.
- Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or add veggies like peppers halfway through.
- Add chili flakes for heat or use rosemary/thyme instead of Italian seasoning.
