Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins and Vegetables:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 lbs potatoes
- 1 lb chicken thighs
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Oils and Liquids:
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, creating an ideal roasting environment for a crispy, golden-brown finish on the chicken and potatoes.
- Cube potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Mince garlic finely to distribute its aromatic essence throughout the dish, releasing its robust flavor profile.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a robust seasoning mixture.
- Toss potato chunks in the seasoning blend, coating each piece thoroughly to maximize flavor penetration.
- Arrange seasoned potatoes on a large baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer to promote crisp edges and even roasting.
- Pat chicken breasts and thighs dry with paper towels to help achieve a perfect golden crust when roasting.
- Generously coat chicken pieces with the remaining seasoning mixture, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Nestle chicken pieces among the potatoes on the baking sheet, creating a harmonious one-pan meal.
- Drizzle chicken broth around the baking sheet to maintain moisture and prevent the dish from drying out during cooking.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes, creating a savory, crispy topping.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are tender and golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a succulent and flavorful meal.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to guarantee uniform cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for superior melting and a more intense flavor compared to pre-packaged alternatives.
- Pat chicken completely dry before seasoning to help achieve an irresistibly crispy exterior that locks in moisture.
- Consider using boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a more forgiving protein option that stays juicier during roasting.
