Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for juicier meat)

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 teaspoon paprika

    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

For the Potatoes:

    • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved

    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • ½ teaspoon salt

    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    • ½ teaspoon onion powder

    • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

the Garlic Parmesan Coating:

    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for a fresh, zesty touch)


Instructions

Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Season the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with this mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered in seasoning.

Prepare the Potatoes

Toss the halved baby potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Assemble Everything on the Baking Sheet

Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the baking sheet and spread the potatoes on the other side. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking.

Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

Add the Garlic Parmesan Coating

Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and lemon zest over both the chicken and potatoes.

Broil for Extra Crispiness

Set the oven to broil on high and place the baking sheet back in for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. This step adds an irresistible golden crust to the dish.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair it with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
