Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 3 lbs potatoes
Seasoning Mix:
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Herbs and Extras:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing the surface to prevent sticking.
- Thoroughly wash and cube potatoes into uniform 1-inch chunks, ensuring even cooking and crispy edges.
- Mince garlic cloves finely and combine with grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes to create a robust seasoning mixture.
- Pat chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels to help the seasoning adhere and promote better browning.
- Generously coat both chicken and potato chunks with the prepared seasoning mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly covered with the flavorful blend.
- Arrange chicken breasts and potato cubes on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer without overcrowding to allow proper caramelization and crispy texture.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chicken and potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning and cooking.
- Verify chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, adding a bright, fresh element to the dish.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting red pepper flakes, making the dish mild or zesty for different heat preferences.
- Create a gluten-free version by ensuring parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free and checking ingredient labels carefully.
- Transform leftovers into a delicious chicken salad or wrap by shredding remaining chicken and mixing with light mayo or Greek yogurt.
- Boost nutrition by adding colorful vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the baking sheet, which roast beautifully alongside chicken and potatoes.
