Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 chicken breasts
Supporting Starches:
- 2 lbs red potatoes
Seasonings and Enhancers:
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F and select a large rimmed baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Chop 2 lbs red potatoes into 1-inch uniform cubes so they roast consistently.
- Finely mince 4 cloves of garlic and combine with ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp dried basil in a mixing bowl.
- Toss potato cubes in the herb mixture until every piece is thoroughly coated.
- Distribute seasoned potatoes across the baking sheet in a single layer, creating enough space for chicken pieces.
- Use paper towels to completely dry 4 chicken breasts, then coat both sides with remaining herb mixture.
- Position chicken breasts next to the potatoes on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Evenly sprinkle ½ cup parmesan cheese over the entire sheet, covering both chicken and potatoes.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and potatoes turn golden brown.
- Allow the sheet to rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to help juices redistribute.
- Finish by scattering 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley across the dish before serving.
Notes
- Check potato sizes carefully to guarantee uniform cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Pat chicken breasts completely dry before seasoning to help create a perfect golden-brown exterior that seals in moisture.
- Select a high-quality parmesan cheese for maximum flavor, preferably freshly grated rather than pre-packaged.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken reaches the safe 165°F internal temperature without overcooking and drying out the meat.
