Ingredients
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1½ lbs baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and ½ tsp Italian seasoning. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season chicken with salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, and half the Parmesan cheese.
- Remove the sheet from the oven, push potatoes to one side, and place the chicken on the pan.
- Brush garlic-Parmesan butter mixture over chicken and drizzle some over the potatoes.
- Return to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and potatoes are tender and golden.
- Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use boneless thighs or bone-in chicken for extra flavor (increase cook time if using bone-in).
- Swap baby potatoes with sweet potatoes or other root vegetables.
- Add red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a little heat.
- Toss in vegetables like green beans or carrots during the last 15 minutes of baking.
