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:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken with olive oil and coat evenly with the seasoning mix.
Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Assemble on the Pan:
- Place the seasoned chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the other side, making sure they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake:
- Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Optional Finishing Touch:
- In the final 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese over both the chicken and potatoes, then broil for a few minutes to achieve a golden crust.
Garnish and Serve:
- Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
