Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Potatoes

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered

Basting Mixture

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Additional Toppings

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken and potatoes evenly.
  2. Arrange the Chicken: Place the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the center of a baking dish, creating a focal point for the dish.
  3. Add the Potatoes: Surround the chicken breasts with the halved or quartered baby potatoes to cook simultaneously.
  4. Prepare the Butter and Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  5. Coat Chicken and Potatoes: Pour the butter and herb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and potatoes, ensuring that every piece is well coated for maximum flavor and moisture.
  6. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over both the chicken and potatoes to add savory richness and a cheesy crust when baked.
  7. Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes specifically to enhance their crispiness during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Optional Broiling: For an extra golden and crispy crust on top, broil the dish for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Rest and Garnish: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, vibrant touch.

Notes

  • Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  • If you prefer softer potatoes, cut them into larger pieces; for crispier potatoes, use smaller pieces and ensure even coating with oil.
  • You can substitute dried herbs with fresh herbs if preferred, but reduce the quantity by half as fresh herbs have a more intense flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, verify that the Parmesan cheese and other ingredients do not contain any gluten additives.
