Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 chicken thighs
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
Seasoning and Coating
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and potatoes evenly.
- Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing well to create a flavorful coating for the ingredients.
- Coat Chicken and Potatoes: Add the chicken thighs and diced potatoes into the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with the garlic and herb mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated chicken thighs and diced potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast properly without overcrowding.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes to add a rich, cheesy flavor that will crisp up during baking.
- Bake the Dish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, serve hot, and enjoy this comforting garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes meal.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, you can parboil diced potatoes before coating and roasting.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste; adding paprika or chili flakes can add extra heat.
- Use chicken breasts if preferred, but adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid drying out.
- Fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme can be sprinkled on top before serving for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
