Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Starches:
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasonings and Liquids:
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grab a large mixing bowl to prepare your seasoning blend.
- Whisk ¼ cup olive oil with ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon each of oregano and basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in the bowl.
- Drop your 4 chicken breasts and 4 potato wedges into the seasoning mixture, thoroughly coating each piece with the fragrant herbs and cheese.
- Spread the chicken and potatoes across a large baking sheet, ensuring they rest in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven and roast for 20 minutes, then carefully flip your potato wedges to guarantee even golden crispness.
- Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes turn deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes to lock in moisture and settle the flavors.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a bright, fresh finish before serving directly from the baking sheet.
Notes
- Make sure your chicken breasts are similar in size and thickness for even cooking, which helps prevent dry or undercooked sections.
- Pat chicken and potatoes completely dry before coating to ensure the seasoning sticks and creates a crispy exterior.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality, as pre-grated cheese can be drier and less flavorful.
- If cooking for someone with dietary restrictions, swap chicken for firm tofu or use cauliflower steaks as a vegetarian alternative.
