Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 lbs (680 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
Vegetables:
- 1.5 lbs (680 grams) small red potatoes, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400F (200C), creating an ideal roasting atmosphere for the dish.
- Transform quartered potatoes into a flavor-packed foundation by massaging them with olive oil, fragrant garlic, aromatic herbs, salt, and pepper until thoroughly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes across a baking sheet, ensuring each piece has breathing room for optimal caramelization and crispy edges.
- Coat chicken pieces with remaining olive oil, minced garlic, herbaceous seasonings, and grated Parmesan cheese, creating a rich, savory exterior.
- Strategically arrange chicken alongside potatoes on the baking sheet, maintaining a single layer to promote even heat distribution and consistent cooking.
- Roast the combined ingredients for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165F (74C) and potatoes develop a golden, tender texture.
- During the final 5 minutes, enhance the dish’s richness by gently brushing both chicken and potatoes with melted butter, amplifying their flavor profile.
- Remove from the oven, allow the dish to rest briefly, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Serve immediately while the chicken remains juicy and potatoes retain their crisp exterior, providing a delectable meal experience.
Notes
- Maximize Flavor by ensuring chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with seasonings and spread in a single layer for consistent browning and crispy texture.
- Customize Diet by substituting chicken with tofu or plant-based protein for vegetarian options, and using gluten-free herbs for those with dietary restrictions.
- Control Moisture by patting chicken and potatoes dry before seasoning to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Elevate Presentation by using fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary instead of parsley, and serving on a rustic wooden board for a restaurant-style finish.
