Prepare a simple, flavorful dinner with chicken, potatoes, and a garlic parmesan coating, all cooked on one sheet pan for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs small potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red), quartered
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
  4. While the potatoes bake, place the chicken pieces in the same bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
  5. After the potatoes have baked for 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan.
  6. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the empty side of the sheet pan, spreading them into a single layer.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan again. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over both the chicken and the potatoes.
  9. Bake for a final 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform sizes and do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two sheets if necessary.
  • You can substitute sweet potatoes for white potatoes if you prefer.
  • If you want a richer flavor, add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of cooking, and the remaining 1/4 cup right before serving.
