Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
- 4 cups baby potatoes (halved)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) paprika
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- Combine diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, ensuring even coating.
- Distribute the seasoned potato mixture across the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer for uniform cooking.
- Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes, allowing them to develop initial crispness and golden edges.
- While potatoes are cooking, season chicken pieces with melted butter, additional garlic, and complementary spices, thoroughly coating each piece.
- Remove the partially cooked potatoes and carefully arrange the seasoned chicken among the potato pieces in the baking dish.
- Return the dish to the oven and continue baking for 25 minutes, or until chicken turns golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, and potatoes become crispy and tender.
- After removing from the oven, garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Let the chicken and potatoes rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting paprika and seasoning to suit personal taste preferences.
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes to guarantee consistent crispiness and even baking throughout the dish.
- For a lighter version, swap butter with olive oil and use reduced-fat Parmesan cheese to decrease overall calorie content.
