Description

How to make savory garlic parmesan chicken and tender roasted potatoes in one pan that makes weeknight dinners incredibly easy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Components:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 34 breasts), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 46 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • Flavor Boosters:
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Essential Seasonings:
  • 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Finishing Touches:
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut chicken breasts and scrubbed potatoes into 1-inch pieces for even cooking. Mince your fresh garlic. This crucial foundational prep ensures everything cooks perfectly for your Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes One-Pan.
  2. Whisk Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chicken broth, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. This creates the savory flavor base, ready to coat your chicken and potatoes evenly.
  3. Toss Coat: Add the chicken, potatoes, and minced garlic to the bowl with the whisked seasonings. Toss everything thoroughly until all pieces are completely coated. This critical mixing technique ensures maximum flavor absorption for your one-pan meal.
  4. Roast Initial: Spread the seasoned chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the potatoes are tender and chicken is nearly cooked through. You’ll see beautiful caramelization starting.
  5. Finish Bake: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over everything. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, golden, and the Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes One-Pan is fully cooked.
  6. Serve Garnish: Garnish your finished Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes One-Pan with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges. This delightful, satisfying family meal is now ready to enjoy without any fuss!

Notes

Ensure uniform 1-inch pieces for chicken and potatoes to guarantee even cooking and perfect tenderness throughout.

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on a baking sheet to maintain crispness.

While Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal, red potatoes or sweet potatoes are excellent substitutions, just ensure uniform cutting.

Serve immediately, warm from the oven, with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a side of steamed broccoli for balanced flavors.

Rest the roasted chicken for 5 minutes after cooking; this keeps it incredibly juicy and tender.
