Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts (skin-on, bone-in preferred)

Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

Dairy

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Oils & Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Rinse and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even roasting. Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the Parmesan cheese. Measure and chop the fresh herbs and have salt and pepper ready.
  2. Season the chicken and potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces and halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Make sure all pieces are evenly coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Arrange in a baking dish: Lay the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe dish, placing the chicken skin-side up to promote crispy skin during baking.
  4. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the dish for 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden-brown.
  5. Finish with garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs on top. Let the dish rest briefly before serving to lock in the juices and flavors.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to improve skin crispiness.
  • Let chicken rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking to cook evenly.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and browning.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow potatoes to roast rather than steam.
