# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This ensures your Easy One-Pan Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes cooks evenly and prevents sticking, making your meal preparation smoother.
02 -
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.
03 -
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.
04 -
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.
05 -
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.
06 -
Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Flip halfway through cooking for even browning. This completes your Easy One-Pan Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes.
07 -
Remove from oven. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped. Serve immediately with 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges, for a bright, zesty finish. Enjoy your delicious and simple one-pan meal!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 15-20 minutes before quartering, then pat very dry.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
03 -
Feel free to substitute chicken breast for thighs, but reduce cooking time slightly to prevent drying out. Broccoli florets or bell peppers can also be added for more veggies.
04 -
This dish is a complete meal on its own, but pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or some crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices.
