Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables
- 4 medium potatoes, chopped into 1-inch pieces
Seasonings & Cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare garlic Parmesan mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a consistent paste or mixture forms.
- Season chicken and potatoes: Rub half of the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts. In a separate bowl, toss the chopped potatoes with the remaining garlic Parmesan mixture until they are well coated.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the seasoned chicken breasts and the coated potato pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or dish. Ensure they’re spaced well to allow even cooking and crisping.
- Bake until cooked through: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes are tender inside with crispy edges.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes. Serve hot, enjoying the blend of savory garlic, herbs, and cheese.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer a juicier, more flavorful cut.
- For extra crispiness on the potatoes, spread them out evenly without overlapping.
- If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic Parmesan mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, use the oven or air fryer to retain crispiness instead of microwaving.
