Description
A Must-Try Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is a delicious one-pan dinner that combines tender chicken breasts with crispy potatoes, all topped with melted cheese and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4–5 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work great)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into small bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Toss the potatoes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil (2 tablespoons), garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well. Coat each chicken breast with the garlic herb mixture on both sides.
- Place the baking sheet with the seasoned potatoes in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, take the baking sheet out and push the potatoes to the sides to make room for the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are crispy and golden. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken and potatoes are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Then, add the shredded mozzarella on top of the chicken. Return the sheet to the oven for 3-5 more minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve with lemon wedges for a zesty kick, if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the garlic herb mixture for a few hours before cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers to the baking sheet.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
