Ingredients for Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes
To make this delicious one-pan meal, you’ll need:
Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for more juiciness).
- Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds of baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved.
- Seasonings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced.
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika.
- Salt and pepper, to taste.
- Other Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish).
Optional Add-Ins:
Cherry tomatoes or green beans for added veggies.
Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Dish
- Preheat Your Oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Season the Chicken:
- Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Toss the halved potatoes with the remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Arrange on the Pan:
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the pan. Spread the potatoes evenly on the other side.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Optional Step:
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan over the dish in the last 5 minutes for a melted, golden crust.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Add fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve immediately.
