Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, half the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and half the Parmesan.
- Spread potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, remaining garlic, melted butter, and remaining Parmesan. Place on the sheet pan next to the potatoes.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through and basting chicken once or twice with pan juices.
- Broil for 2–3 minutes if desired for extra crispiness.
- Remove from oven once chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden and crispy. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
- Add vegetables like broccoli or green beans in the last 15–20 minutes.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
- Reheat in oven for 10–15 minutes to maintain texture.
- Broil at the end for a crispy finish on both chicken and potatoes.
