Make a comforting, flavorful dinner with this easy one-pan garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes recipe. You get tender chicken and golden roasted potatoes coated in a savory garlic butter sauce, all with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken mixture. This gives them a head start.
  4. In the same bowl, combine the chicken pieces, the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, remaining salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken thoroughly.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the coated chicken pieces to the other side of the pan, ensuring everything is in a single layer.
  6. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over both the chicken and the potatoes.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform sizes and do not overlap too much on the pan.
  • If you use chicken thighs, they may require 5 minutes longer cooking time than breasts.
  • You can add 1 cup of broccoli florets during the last 10 minutes of baking for added vegetables.
