Make this easy one-pan garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes for a satisfying weeknight dinner. Tender chicken and golden potatoes roast together, absorbing a rich, savory garlic and Parmesan coating with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken mixture.
  4. In the same bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
  5. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated in the garlic Parmesan mixture.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the other side of the pan, ensuring everything has space.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the entire pan with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, cut them into smaller, uniform pieces before roasting.
  • If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook at the same rate as the potatoes.
  • This recipe works well with broccoli florets added during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a complete chicken and vegetable meal.
