Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
0.5 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
In the same bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and add the seasoned chicken to the other side of the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For crispier potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform sizes before roasting.
If you prefer chicken breasts, watch the cooking time closely to prevent drying.
You can substitute baby potatoes with small Yukon Gold potatoes.
