Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Potatoes:

  • 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  • Prepare the Chicken

    • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.

    • Mix Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

    • Rub chicken with olive oil, then coat evenly with the seasoning.

  • Prepare the Potatoes

    • In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until well coated.

  • Assemble on the Pan

    • Place chicken on one side of the baking sheet.

    • Spread potatoes on the other side in a single layer.

  • Bake

    • Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through.

    • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  • Optional Finishing Touch

    • In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle extra Parmesan over chicken and potatoes. Broil until golden and crisp.

  • Garnish & Serve

    • Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Choose the right cut: Chicken thighs stay extra juicy, but chicken breasts work just as well.

  • Crispier potatoes: Make sure the potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet—this helps them roast instead of steam.

  • Flavor boost: Add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

  • Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the potatoes crisp.
