Description
A simple and delicious one-pan dinner featuring juicy chicken and flavorful potatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights or impressing guests with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then coat with the seasoning mix.
- Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the coated potatoes on the other side in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
- Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes in the last 5 minutes. Switch to broil until the cheese is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over everything before serving hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for a few hours before cooking. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet for even roasting.
