Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Starches:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes, halved
Seasonings and Additions:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Toss 1½ pounds halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes until they start to crisp up.
- Pat 4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Mix them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in the same mixing bowl.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven after 15 minutes. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts among the potatoes.
- Sprinkle ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to create a golden, crispy top. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Serve the dish immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Check potato sizes carefully to ensure even cooking alongside the chicken.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help the herb coating stick and create a crispy exterior.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or cornstarch in the seasoning mix.
