Ingredients
Scale
Serves 4:
- For the chicken:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the potatoes:
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved (or large potatoes cut into chunks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- For the Parmesan topping:
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- Prepare the chicken:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place them skin-side up on the prepared baking dish.
- Season the potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken on the baking dish.
- Bake:
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking for even crisping.
- Add the Parmesan topping:
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the chicken and potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and serve:
- Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Substitute baby potatoes with sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor.
- For extra crispiness, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
