A flavorful one-pan dinner featuring tender garlic Parmesan chicken and crispy roasted potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Optional: cherry tomatoes or green beans for added veggies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss the halved potatoes with the remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts on one side of the pan and the potatoes evenly on the other side.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Optional: Sprinkle extra Parmesan over the dish during the last 5 minutes of baking for a golden crust.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes.
  • Substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
  • Swap potatoes with carrots, Brussels sprouts, or zucchini for lower-carb options.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  • Chicken can be frozen for up to 2 months, but potatoes freeze poorly.
  • Use bone-in chicken with adjusted cooking time if desired.
  • Ensure potatoes are spread in a single layer for crispiness and flip halfway through cooking.
