4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

🍳 Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
-
400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
-
-
Prepare chicken and potatoes:
-
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half of the garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
-
In a separate bowl, toss chicken with remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
-
Assemble on baking sheet:
-
Arrange chicken breasts and potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Sprinkle extra Parmesan over both if desired.
-
-
Bake:
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through.
-
Check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
-
Optional broil for crispiness:
-
Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra golden, crispy edges.
-
-
Serve:
-
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
-
✅ Tips:
-
Baby potatoes work best, but regular potatoes can be cubed into 1-inch pieces.
-
You can add vegetables like broccoli or carrots for a one-pan meal.
-
For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon over the chicken before serving.
I can also give you a one-pan skillet version that cooks the chicken and potatoes together on the stovetop for a faster meal. Do you want that version?
