Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat the Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Potatoes:

1. In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet or in a baking dish.

Prepare the Chicken:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
2. Rub the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken breasts.
3. Coat each chicken breast with the Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Assemble the Dish:

1. Place the Parmesan-coated chicken breasts on top of the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet or in the baking dish.

Bake:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
2. If desired, you can broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a crispier top on the chicken and potatoes.

Garnish and Serve:

1. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
2. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
