Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes offers a simple tasty meal that solves dinner stress with rich flavors everyone will love

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of rosemary, thyme, and oregano)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature makes sure the potatoes get crispy and the chicken skin if using skin-on gets golden and crunchy.
  • Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half the dried herbs. This step gives the potatoes their initial seasoning and flavor.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter with the remaining olive oil. Stir in the remaining garlic and herbs. This garlicky butter mix will baste the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everything stays juicy and flavorful.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the center of a baking sheet and scatter the potatoes around them. Pour the butter mixture evenly over both chicken and potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the tray carefully and sprinkle the grated Parmesan generously over the potatoes and chicken.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the Parmesan is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
  • Notes

    A comforting one-pan meal featuring golden-baked baby potatoes and juicy, tender chicken thighs, all infused with rich garlic, melted Parmesan, and herbs. Perfect as a midweek dinner or crowd-pleaser.
