Ingredients
-
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
-
1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
3 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
1½ tsp Italian seasoning
-
½ tsp paprika
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
-
Optional: ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, half of the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan.
-
Arrange the chicken pieces and potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
-
Drizzle melted butter over the chicken and sprinkle with remaining garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
-
Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the potatoes are golden and crisp.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley and a light dusting of Parmesan before serving warm.
Notes
-
For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
-
Substitute chicken thighs for extra juiciness or use a mix of both.
-
Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavor.
-
Can be made gluten-free by ensuring all seasonings and Parmesan are certified gluten-free.
