Description
Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is a cozy, one-pan dinner featuring juicy chicken and crispy roasted potatoes tossed in a savory garlic-Parmesan seasoning. It’s quick to prep, easy to clean up, and packed with cheesy, herby flavor—perfect for busy weeknights or comforting weekend meals.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved (or regular potatoes cut into chunks)
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, half of the garlic, 1/4 cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes on one side of the baking sheet.
- Rub chicken with remaining olive oil and coat with the rest of the garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken on the other side of the baking sheet (or between potatoes if space is tight).
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan and parsley before serving.
Notes
- Add vegetables like green beans or broccoli during the last 10–15 minutes of roasting.
- Use bone-in chicken for extra flavor—just increase bake time by 10–15 minutes.
- Freshly grated Parmesan yields the best texture and taste.
