  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese for extra cheesiness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare all ingredients and set them aside for easy assembly.
  2. 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.
  3. Toss the potato wedges with remaining garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden, flipping halfway for even cooking.
  5. While potatoes are roasting, sear chicken breasts in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra cheesiness. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a more flavorful crust, add a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese on the potatoes before roasting.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for juicier meat.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the Parmesan and seasonings are gluten-free.
