Description

This Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes one-pan dinner is a flavorful, easy-to-make recipe featuring juicy, seasoned chicken breasts paired with crispy Parmesan-coated baby potatoes. Roasted to perfection in the oven, this meal delivers a comforting combination of tender meat and golden, garlicky potatoes, all finished with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.


Ingredients

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

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

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken breasts (or thighs) with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then evenly coat them with the seasoning mixture on all sides.
  3. Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are well coated for even flavor and crispiness.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Arrange the seasoned chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet and spread the potatoes out evenly on the other side in a single layer. This helps all components roast evenly.
  5. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure crispiness on all sides. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Broil and Crisp: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra Parmesan over the chicken and potatoes and broil briefly for a golden, crispy crust.
  7. Serve: Remove the tray from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top, and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan dinner!

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked to 165°F (74°C) to guarantee safety and juiciness.
  • If you prefer thighs over breasts, bone-in thighs can be used but may require slightly longer cooking time.
  • For extra crispiness, consider cutting potatoes smaller or parboiling briefly before tossing with seasonings.
  • Fresh parsley adds brightness; alternatively, you can use fresh basil or chives.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
