Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Optional Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to 400F (200C). Arrange a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
- Thoroughly dab chicken pieces with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Create a robust seasoning blend combining Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Massage olive oil onto the chicken, then generously coat with the aromatic spice mixture.
- Transform potatoes into roasting-ready morsels by combining them in a mixing bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Ensure each potato half is evenly and thoroughly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Strategically position seasoned chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Distribute potato halves across the remaining space, maintaining a single layer for optimal roasting. Slide into the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating potatoes midway to ensure uniform browning. Verify chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165F (74C) using a meat thermometer.
- For an enhanced golden finish, sprinkle additional Parmesan over chicken and potatoes during the final 5 minutes. Activate the broiler to create a crisp, caramelized exterior.
- Extract from oven and adorn with freshly chopped parsley. Present immediately while piping hot, ready to delight eager diners.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is thoroughly dried before seasoning to achieve a crispy, golden exterior that locks in moisture.
- Customize spice blend by experimenting with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for varied flavor profiles.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for maximum flavor and better melting compared to pre-packaged cheese.
- For gluten-free option, verify all seasonings are certified gluten-free and substitute with almond flour if needed.
