Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs small potatoes, quartered
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
In the same bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the seasoned chicken to the other side of the pan, ensuring everything is in a single layer.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
For crispier potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform sizes and do not overcrowd the pan.
You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts; thighs may require 3-5 minutes longer cooking time.
This recipe works well as a low-carb meal if you substitute the potatoes with broccoli florets or green beans (add them for the last 10 minutes of cooking).
