Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken mixture.
  4. In the same bowl, combine the chicken pieces, remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the partially cooked potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the seasoned chicken to the other side of the pan, ensuring everything is in a single layer.
  6. Pour the chicken broth or water over the potatoes and chicken.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform sizes and not overcrowded on the pan.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts; adjust cooking time slightly if pieces are much larger.
  • If you want a richer sauce, add 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the Parmesan mixture.
