Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs
- 4 medium potatoes
Seasonings and Cheese:
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and grab a large baking sheet for your one-pan adventure.
- Toss 4 medium diced potatoes with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Spread the seasoned potato mixture on one side of the baking sheet, creating a single layer for even roasting.
- Position 4 chicken thighs beside the potatoes, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly.
- Generously shower 1 cup grated parmesan cheese over both the potatoes and chicken, creating a golden, crispy coating.
- Dust 1 teaspoon dried parsley across the entire dish for a touch of herbal freshness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, watching for the chicken to turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the sheet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute and flavors to settle.
Notes
- Check potato sizes to ensure even cooking, cutting larger pieces smaller so everything roasts perfectly.
- Season chicken and potatoes generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor depth before adding parmesan.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for quicker cooking and easier serving, but bone-in will also work well with slightly longer roasting time.
- Choose fresh parmesan cheese and grate it yourself for more robust flavor compared to pre-grated versions.
