Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 chicken breasts boneless skinless
  • 5 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes halved
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • olive oil for coating
  • Italian seasoning to taste
  • smoked paprika to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped garnish

Equipment

  • Large Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Chef Knife
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Whisk together the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a medium bowl.
  3. Submerge the chicken pieces in the oil mixture, turning until every inch is thoroughly coated.
  4. Toss the halved potatoes in a separate bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Nestle the seasoned chicken breasts directly on top of or among the potato halves.
  7. Roast for 30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the potatoes feel fork-tender.
  8. Scatter fresh parsley over the pan and serve immediately while the cheese is crisp.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your potatoes are cut into uniform sizes so they roast at the same rate as the chicken. If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, you can toss them halfway through the baking time. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in the oven to maintain the texture of the Parmesan crust.
