Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1.5 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half of the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the Italian herbs. Spread them on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
- Prepare chicken: In the same bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the remaining olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs, and Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the seasoned chicken on the baking sheet with the potatoes, keeping everything in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C internal temperature) and the potatoes are tender.
- Brush with butter: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken and potatoes with the melted butter for added richness.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
- Add vegetables: Toss in veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, or onions for added nutrition.
- Lemon flavor: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for brightness.
- Spice it up: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
- Crispy potatoes: Parboil potatoes for a few minutes before roasting for extra crispiness.
- Cheese alternatives: Use Pecorino Romano or Asiago instead of Parmesan for a different flavor.
