Equipment

- Measuring Spoons: For precise measurement of seasonings and oil.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 lb baby potatoes halved
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and thyme. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the chicken and rub it in to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Roast the Chicken and Potatoes: Place the chicken on the baking sheet with the potatoes. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Add Garlic and Parmesan: Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and form a crispy, golden crust.
- Serve: Garnish the chicken and potatoes with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes!
Notes
Evenly Coat the Chicken: Be sure to evenly coat the chicken with the seasoning and oil mixture for maximum flavor.
Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a more intense flavor than pre-minced garlic, making the dish extra flavorful.
Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting to retain its juices and ensure it’s moist.
