Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
Vegetables:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing the surface.
- Thoroughly wash baby potatoes and cut them into uniform bite-sized quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Mince garlic cloves finely and combine with grated parmesan, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme in a large mixing bowl.
- Toss potato quarters in the seasoned mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the aromatic herb blend.
- Spread seasoned potatoes across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, creating space between each piece for optimal roasting.
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and generously coat them with the remaining parmesan-herb mixture, pressing gently to help seasonings adhere.
- Arrange chicken breasts among the potatoes on the baking sheet, positioning them so they are not overcrowding the pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes turn golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, adding a vibrant burst of color and fresh herb flavor.
Notes
- Ensure even potato sizes by cutting uniformly to guarantee consistent roasting and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Patting chicken breasts dry helps create a perfect crispy exterior and allows seasonings to stick better, enhancing overall flavor profile.
- For gluten-free adaptation, confirm parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free and replace any potential gluten-containing ingredients.
- Swap chicken with tofu or plant-based protein alternatives for vegetarian/vegan versions, adjusting cooking time accordingly to maintain moisture and texture.
