Description
Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is an easy one-pan dinner that combines juicy chicken breasts and crispy roasted potatoes with savory garlic, Parmesan, and Italian herbs. Perfect for busy weeknights, this delicious and hearty meal offers bold flavor and minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for more juiciness)
- For the Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds 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
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line or grease a large baking sheet.
- Season chicken by patting it dry, coating with 1 tbsp olive oil, and rubbing in Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Toss potatoes with remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Arrange chicken on one side of the baking sheet and potatoes on the other in a single layer.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Optional: Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top and broil for 5 minutes for a crispy finish.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Bone-in chicken pieces may be used; increase bake time accordingly.
- Nutritional yeast can replace Parmesan for a dairy-free version.
- Potatoes can be swapped with carrots, zucchini, or Brussels sprouts.
- Great for meal prep—store prepped components for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Leftovers store well for 3 days and reheat best in the oven.
