Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1.5 pounds baby red or Yukon gold potatoes
- 6–8 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the baby red or Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them out in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
- Pat the chicken thighs (or breasts) dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine.
- Place the baking sheet with the seasoned potatoes in the oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes.
- After the initial roast, pull out the baking sheet and arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on the other side. Sprinkle two-thirds of the garlic Parmesan mixture over both the chicken and the potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Sprinkle the remaining garlic Parmesan mixture over the dish. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispness. Let the chicken and potatoes rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Keywords: Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure crispy results. Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for better browning. Fresh garlic is essential for flavor, and consider adding other quick-cooking vegetables during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
