Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish (optional):
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasonings evenly across all surfaces of the chicken.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are fully coated.
- Assemble on Baking Sheet: Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the seasoned potatoes out on the other side, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Broil and Garnish (Optional): For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-5 minutes at the end of baking. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Swap in chicken thighs for added juiciness if desired.
- Add chopped vegetables (like carrots or green beans) to the potatoes for more variety.
- Check chicken temperature with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
- Parchment paper makes cleanup easy, but you can use foil if you prefer.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
