Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for more juiciness)
1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Optional Add-Ins:
Cherry tomatoes or green beans for added veggies
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Potatoes: Toss the halved potatoes with the remaining olive oil, garlic, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange on the Pan: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the pan and spread the potatoes evenly on the other side.
Bake to Perfection: Roast everything in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Optional Step: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle extra Parmesan over the dish for a melted, golden crust.
Garnish and Serve: Add fresh parsley for color and serve immediately.
Notes
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
Swap potatoes for lower-carb vegetables like carrots or zucchini.
