This Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes recipe combines crispy, flavorful bone-in chicken thighs with tender roasted baby potatoes, all coated in a savory garlic and Parmesan cheese marinade. Perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner, this dish offers a simple yet delicious meal with minimal prep time and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Potatoes:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 lb (about 500g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For Seasoning:

  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Garnish (optional):

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to evenly cook the chicken and potatoes.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a fragrant marinade.
  3. Coat the Chicken and Potatoes: Add the chicken thighs and halved baby potatoes into the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss everything together so all pieces are thoroughly coated with the seasoned mixture.
  4. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Transfer the coated chicken and potatoes into a baking dish or sheet pan, placing the chicken skin-side up to achieve crispy skin. Spread the potatoes evenly around the chicken.
  5. Bake in the Oven: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.
  6. Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): For extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil and cook the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes. Monitor carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired, to add freshness and brightness.
  8. Enjoy Your Meal! Serve warm and enjoy your delicious garlic Parmesan chicken with roasted potatoes.

Notes

  • Using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs provides the best flavor and moisture, but boneless thighs can be used with reduced cooking time.
  • Substitute baby potatoes with regular potatoes cut into chunks or sweet potatoes for a different flavor. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
  • Ensure the chicken skin is placed facing up and avoid crowding the pan to achieve crispy skin.
  • You can prepare the dish a day ahead by marinating the chicken and potatoes in the fridge to deepen flavors.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast.
