Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring crispy garlic parmesan coated chicken and perfectly roasted potatoes, delivering bold flavors and comforting textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs or breasts (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1.5 pounds small red or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and quartered
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 100 g)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and half the Italian herbs. Spread them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  4. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix the grated Parmesan, remaining garlic, melted butter, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
  5. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Press each piece firmly into the Parmesan mixture to coat well.
  6. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and nestle the coated chicken pieces among the potatoes, skin side up.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crispy golden brown.
  8. Check that the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken juices run clear when pierced.
  9. Optionally, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before coating to ensure crispiness. Mixing melted butter with olive oil helps browning. Start roasting potatoes first for even cooking. Let chicken rest after roasting to lock in juices. For extra crispiness, broil last 2-3 minutes but watch closely. Use parchment paper on baking sheet for easier cleanup. Variations include swapping herbs, adding spices, or using cauliflower or mushrooms for vegetarian options.
