Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Chicken:

    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
    • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tbsp olive oil

    For the Potatoes:

    • 1.5 lbs baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
    • 3 tbsp olive oil
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper

    Optional Garnish:

    • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    Pat chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub chicken with olive oil, then coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.

  • Prepare the Potatoes:
    In a large bowl, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  • Assemble and Bake:
    Place seasoned chicken on one side of the baking sheet. Spread potatoes evenly on the other side in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through. Check that the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) with a meat thermometer.

  • Optional Finishing Touch:
    In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle extra Parmesan over chicken and potatoes. Broil for a golden, crispy crust.

 

  • Garnish & Serve:
    Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer darker meat.
  • The potatoes can be cut into smaller pieces if you prefer them crispy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.

 

  • Add some roasted vegetables to the pan to make this a more complete meal.
