Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Pounding them to an even thickness ensures uniform cooking.
1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
These varieties roast well and become tender inside while crispy outside.
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Provides moisture and helps in achieving a golden-brown finish.
4 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly minced garlic imparts a robust flavor.
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
A blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme enhances the dish’s aroma.
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Adds a subtle smoky flavor and rich color.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Season according to personal preference.
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly grated cheese melts better and offers superior taste.
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Adds a touch of color and freshness to the final dish.

Directions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Season the Chicken:
In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Prepare the Potatoes:
In another bowl, toss the halved potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the coated potatoes on the other side, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Bake:
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even crispiness. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Optional Garnish:
During the last 5 minutes of baking, you can sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes for a melted, golden crust.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your meal!
