Scale
Main Protein:

Vegetables:
- 1 pound (lb) / 454 grams baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Seasonings and Fats:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 400°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle for even heating.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by combining olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, aromatic Italian herbs, smoky paprika, and a balanced mix of salt and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Thoroughly coat the chicken pieces and potato chunks with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each morsel is generously and evenly covered.
- Spread the seasoned chicken and potatoes across a large baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to promote optimal browning and crispy edges.
- Drizzle melted butter over the arranged ingredients to enhance golden crispiness and add richness to the dish.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking to ensure uniform browning.
- Verify the chicken’s doneness by checking that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, with a golden-brown exterior and potatoes crisp and tender.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a vibrant finish and serve immediately while hot and aromatic.
Notes
- Ensure chicken pieces are similar in size for even cooking, preventing dry or undercooked sections.
- Pat chicken and potatoes completely dry before seasoning to help crispy exterior develop perfectly.
- Adjust seasoning intensity by increasing or decreasing garlic and Parmesan quantities based on personal preference.
- Transform recipe into gluten-free version by using certified gluten-free Parmesan cheese and checking seasoning ingredients.
