Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1.5 lbs small Yukon Gold or red potatoes, quartered
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, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In the same bowl, toss the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, creating space for the chicken. Place the chicken thighs on the empty side of the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken thighs.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For crispier potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded on the pan.
If you prefer chicken breasts, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets so they cook at the same rate as the potatoes.
You can add 1 cup of broccoli florets during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a complete meal.
