Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the potatoes on one side of the sheet pan.
3. Pat the chicken breasts dry. In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, melted butter, remaining garlic, remaining Parmesan, remaining Italian seasoning, paprika, remaining salt, and remaining black pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.
4. Place the chicken on the other side of the sheet pan beside the potatoes.
5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the potatoes are tender and lightly crisp.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
7. Serve hot with your favorite green vegetable or salad.
Notes
Cut the potatoes into even halves so they roast at the same speed and finish tender at the same time.
If your chicken breasts are very thick, pound them lightly for more even cooking and juicier results.
