Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 400°F, guaranteeing even cooking for your chicken and potatoes.
- Toss 1 pound baby potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper until potatoes are completely coated.
- Add 4 chicken breasts to the seasoned potato mixture, ensuring each piece gets thoroughly covered with the aromatic blend.
- Transfer seasoned chicken breasts to the center of a large baking dish, arranging 1 pound baby potatoes around them to create an even distribution.
- Generously sprinkle 1 cup grated parmesan cheese across the chicken and potatoes, creating a flavorful coating.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated 400°F oven and roast for exactly 25 minutes, checking that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Switch oven to broil for 2-3 minutes to create a golden, crispy exterior on your chicken and potatoes.
- Remove dish from oven and allow it to rest for 3-4 minutes, letting juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Chop fresh parsley and scatter across the dish for a bright, fresh finish before serving.
Notes
- Check chicken’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for safe eating.
- Cut chicken breasts to similar sizes so they cook evenly and prevent some pieces from drying out.
- When choosing potatoes, select small baby potatoes that are roughly uniform in size to guarantee consistent roasting.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm the parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free and use alternative seasonings if needed.
