Description
A one-pan wonder featuring crispy roasted potatoes and tender chicken baked in a garlic-Parmesan herb sauce—perfect for comforting, no-fuss family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless chicken thighs, breasts, or drumsticks
- 1.5 lbs baby or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, half the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter with the remaining garlic. Brush onto chicken pieces.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Place chicken among the potatoes on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C) and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely.
- Let rest a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- Swap chicken pieces as preferred—thighs, breasts, or drumsticks all work.
- Add vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots, or green beans.
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for spice.
- Use Asiago or pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan for a sharper flavor.
- Drizzle with lemon juice before serving for brightness.
