For the Chicken and Potatoes:
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs or breasts (Bone‑in skin‑on for extra flavor; can use boneless if preferred)
- 1.5 lb Baby potatoes (Halved or quartered if large)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (For coating)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano (Or Italian seasoning)
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
For the Garlic Parmesan Finish:
- 1/2 cup Freshly grated (Parmesan cheese Use quality cheese for best flavor)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped For garnish)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (Optional for brightness)
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease an oven-safe pan.
Season the Chicken and Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken and baby potatoes.
- Drizzle with olive oil and add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
Roast:
- Arrange the chicken pieces skin side up on the baking sheet, and spread the potatoes around them in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Finish with Garlic Parmesan:
- Remove the pan from the oven.
- Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Drizzle with lemon juice (if using) and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Return to the oven for an additional 2–3 minutes if you desire the cheese to melt slightly.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes as a satisfying, one-pan dinner with a side salad or steamed greens.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, try to use baby potatoes that are firm and cut evenly.
- If using boneless chicken, reduce the cooking time by about 5 minutes to prevent drying out.
- Adjust the seasoning and herbs based on your taste—feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or lightly steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
