Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures your chicken and potatoes cook evenly and become crispy.
2. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, and thyme. Ensure they are evenly coated.
3. Prepare the potatoes: In a separate bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and a little pepper.
4. Combine chicken and potatoes: In a large baking dish, arrange the seasoned chicken breasts and scatter the diced potatoes around them.
5. Add garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the chicken and potatoes for that aromatic flavor infusion.
6. Top with cheese: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring every surface is coated.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden brown.
8. Check doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Broil for crispiness: For an extra crispy topping, switch to broil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
10. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. Then, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color.
