Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for extra richness)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  2. Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss chicken and potatoes with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer in the baking dish, placing the potatoes cut-side down.
  5. If using, dot small cubes of butter over the top for added richness.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through, until chicken is golden and fully cooked (165°F internal temp) and potatoes are tender and crispy.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter variation.
  • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.
  • Add green beans or broccoli in the last 15 minutes of baking for a complete meal.
  • Stir in heavy cream and extra Parmesan at the end for a creamy version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
