Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs small potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red potatoes), quartered
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Spread the chicken on the other half of the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. While the chicken and potatoes bake, prepare the garlic Parmesan topping. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken pieces.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with a little extra grated Parmesan cheese before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer and not touching the chicken too much during the initial bake.
  • If you prefer a cream sauce, you can mix 1/4 cup heavy cream into the garlic Parmesan mixture before topping the chicken.
  • This recipe works well for dinner for two; simply halve the ingredients.
