3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes Roast

Preparation of Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare all ingredients and set them aside for easy assembly.

Marinate the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, grated Parmesan, Italian herbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.

Prepare the Potatoes

Toss the potato wedges with the remaining garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Spread the wedges evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roast the Potatoes

Place the seasoned potatoes in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Cook the Chicken

While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake everything together for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Finish with Cheese and Garnish

If desired, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
