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
- 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.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken breasts (or thighs) with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then evenly coat them with the seasoning mixture on all sides.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are well coated for even flavor and crispiness.
- Assemble on the Pan: Arrange the seasoned chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet and spread the potatoes out evenly on the other side in a single layer. This helps all components roast evenly.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure crispiness on all sides. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Optional Finishing Touch: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra Parmesan over the chicken and potatoes and broil briefly for a golden, crispy crust.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the tray from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top, and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan dinner!
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before baking.
- Cut chicken pieces and potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Substitute sweet potatoes or add vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for variety.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
