  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt for chicken
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper for chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for chicken

  • 4 cloves garlic minced

  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper for potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Arrange the chicken on one side of the baking sheet and spread the potatoes on the other side in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes for a golden crust. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
