Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Starch:
- 1 pound (1 lb) baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons (tsp) Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking dish by lightly coating with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Create a flavorful marinade by whisking together olive oil, freshly crushed garlic, aromatic Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper.
- Thoroughly massage the marinade into each chicken breast, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Slice baby potatoes in half, creating uniform pieces that will cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Drizzle potatoes with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper, gently tossing to distribute seasonings uniformly.
- Arrange marinated chicken breasts and seasoned potato halves in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Generously sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over both chicken and potatoes, creating a golden, crispy topping.
- Roast in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165F (75C) and potatoes turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is evenly coated with seasoning by massaging the oil mixture thoroughly into each piece for maximum flavor absorption.
- Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking dish to achieve crispy, golden-brown edges that provide a delightful textural contrast.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged for a more robust and authentic flavor profile that elevates the entire dish.
- For a low-carb variation, replace potatoes with cauliflower florets or zucchini chunks while maintaining the same cooking technique and seasoning.
