Trim 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cut into 1-inch pieces. Quarter 1 1/2 lbs baby red or Yukon gold potatoes. Pat both the chicken and potatoes dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior when roasted.

In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add salt to taste.

Add the prepped chicken and potatoes to the bowl with the garlic-Parmesan coating. Toss everything thoroughly until the chicken and potatoes are evenly coated. This step is crucial for infusing flavor into your Easy One-Pan Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes.

Spread the seasoned chicken and potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there's some space between pieces for optimal browning and even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan for the best results.
