Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 pieces)
- 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt (more to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes (halved or quartered if large)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- Combine halved baby potatoes in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread on one side of the baking dish.
- Drizzle the chicken breasts with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Rub with the remaining garlic, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Place on the other side of the pan.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through, or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Brush the chicken and potatoes with melted butter and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan for crispier potatoes. Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness.
