Description
This Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes recipe is a fantastic meal that can bring comfort to any dinner table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a spacious mixing bowl, take your halved baby potatoes and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with half of the minced garlic. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and toss everything well until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in the seasoning mixture.
- Once your potatoes are seasoned, spread them evenly on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they’re not overcrowded; giving them space will help them achieve a wonderful golden-brown color during roasting. Now, set this aside while you prepare the chicken.
- In the same bowl used for the potatoes, coat your chicken thighs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the rest of the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and the grated Parmesan cheese. Make sure each piece is well covered, encouraging a crispy, cheesy crust to develop during baking. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up among the potato halves on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. During this time, you will see the chicken skin becoming beautifully crispy and golden while the potatoes become tender. For added crispiness, switch to broil mode for the last 2-3 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Once the chicken and potatoes have finished baking, remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle everything with chopped fresh parsley. This brightens the dish and adds a burst of color. Serve immediately and enjoy your fantastic Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes!
Notes
Letting the chicken sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking can help it cook more evenly. For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the olive oil, garlic, and spices for a few hours before baking.
