Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Potatoes:
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into large chunks
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken and potatoes with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or in a large baking dish. Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and golden.
- Final Touches: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top and return to the oven. Once golden and bubbling, remove and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed green beans.
- You can also substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter twist.
