Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts skin-on and bone-in
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes halved
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Prepare the Ingredients
  4. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
  5. Season the Chicken and Potatoes
  6. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and potatoes.
  7. Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter. Add minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until evenly coated.
  8. Arrange on a Baking Sheet
  9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the chicken and potatoes in a single layer, ensuring the chicken is skin-side up.
  10. Bake the Dish
  11. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes should be golden and crispy.
  12. Broil for Extra Crispiness
  13. If desired, broil the dish for 2–3 minutes at the end to make the skin and potatoes extra crispy.
  14. Garnish and Serve
  15. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve warm.

Notes

  • Chicken Alternatives: Use boneless, skinless chicken if preferred, but reduce the cooking time by about 10 minutes.
  • Potato Substitutions: Yukon gold or russet potatoes can be used if baby potatoes aren’t available. Cut them into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Make It Dairy-Free: Substitute butter and Parmesan with dairy-free alternatives for a dairy-free version.
  • Add Veggies: Include carrots, green beans, or zucchini for a complete one-pan meal.
