Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Potatoes and Vegetables:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Garnish:
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Create a flavor-packed seasoning blend by combining Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Massage the chicken with olive oil, then thoroughly coat with the spice mixture.
- Prepare the potatoes by coating them with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Carefully arrange the seasoned chicken on one side of the baking sheet, positioning the potatoes in a single layer on the opposite side to promote even cooking.
- Roast the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating the potatoes midway through cooking to achieve a crispy exterior. Verify the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the dish and briefly broil to create a golden, crispy crust. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by generously coating chicken and potatoes with seasoning blend for a more intense taste profile.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting and richer flavor development.
- Ensure potato pieces are similar in size to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes after cooking to help retain moisture and ensure juicier meat.
