Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Produce:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Chopped fresh parsley
Seasonings and Cheese:
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 400°F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a light spray of cooking oil.
- Arrange 4 chicken breasts on one side of the sheet and spread 1 ½ lbs halved baby potatoes on the other side.
- Drizzle ⅓ cup olive oil generously over your chicken and potatoes.
- Combine 4 minced garlic cloves, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon each of oregano, paprika, and garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Massage the seasoning blend thoroughly into your chicken breasts, ensuring complete coverage.
- Toss your potato halves in the remaining seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Distribute the seasoned potatoes around the chicken on the baking sheet, keeping them in a single layer.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, tracking the chicken’s internal temperature until it reaches 165°F.
- After removing from the oven, shower the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a final touch of color and freshness.
Notes
- Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F without overcooking, which keeps the meat juicy and tender.
- Slice potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate, giving you perfectly crispy edges and soft centers.
- Pat chicken and potatoes dry before seasoning to help the spices stick better and create a more flavorful crust.
- For a low-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or turnips, which roast beautifully with the same seasonings.
