Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 pieces medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a seasoning mixture.
Add the chicken thighs and potato cubes to the bowl. Toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken and potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the chicken is surrounded by the potatoes but not overlapping.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes for extra flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
