Description
Prepare a flavorful weeknight dinner with this simple one-pan recipe featuring tender chicken breasts and crispy roasted potatoes coated in a rich garlic Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1.5 lbs small potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red), quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
- In the same bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of pepper, and the minced garlic.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, leaving space for the chicken. Add the seasoned chicken to the empty space on the sheet pan.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the hot chicken and potatoes. Toss gently on the pan to coat everything evenly.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, ensure they are cut uniformly and not overcrowded on the pan during the initial roast.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts, but adjust the cooking time slightly as thighs may take a few minutes longer.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the salt and pepper to the chicken.
