Description
Make a complete, flavorful dinner with minimal cleanup using this simple one-pan oven recipe featuring tender chicken breasts and roasted potatoes coated in garlic and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken mixture.
- In the same bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the seasoned chicken to the empty side of the pan.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
- While the chicken and potatoes bake, mix the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream (or broth) in a small bowl until a thick sauce forms.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Pour the Parmesan mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Gently toss everything on the pan to coat.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for a final 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving directly from the pan.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, toss them with a little extra oil and roast them alone for 20 minutes before adding the chicken.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the fresh minced garlic.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts; adjust the final cooking time as needed.
