Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 6 medium potatoes
Coating and Seasoning:
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Herbs and Extras:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing the surface to prevent sticking.
- Thoroughly wash and cube the potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks, ensuring uniform size for even cooking and crispy edges.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely and combine with grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
- Coat each chicken breast generously in the prepared seasoning mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage on all sides.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts and potato cubes on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out to create a single layer that allows proper heat circulation.
- Distribute any remaining seasoning mixture over the chicken and potatoes to maximize flavor intensity.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to guarantee golden, crispy exteriors and tender interiors.
- Verify chicken is fully cooked by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and flavors to settle.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, adding a bright, fresh dimension to the dish.
Notes
- Swap chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian version that maintains the same delicious garlic parmesan flavor profile.
- Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes to boost nutritional value and add a subtle sweetness to the dish.
- Ensure potatoes are cut uniformly to promote even cooking and achieve that perfect crispy exterior for all pieces.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help the spice mixture adhere better and create a more flavorful, crisp coating.
