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

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
