Garlic Parmesan Chicken & Potatoes – The Ultimate One-Pan Comfort Meal


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved (or Yukon Gold, 1.5″ chunks)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan (plus extra for topping)
• 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
• 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh)
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 lemon, sliced (for brightness & presentation)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp melted butter, half the garlic, 1 tbsp Parmesan, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the sheet.
  3. Rub chicken with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the other side of the sheet.
  4. Roast 15 mins.
  5. Meanwhile, mix remaining melted butter, garlic, and 2 tbsp Parmesan. After 15 mins, remove pan, brush mixture over chicken and potatoes. Flip potatoes. Scatter lemon slices over top (if using).
  6. Return to oven 15–20 mins, until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are crisp-tender.
  7. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs. Rest 5 mins before serving.
