Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 45 medium-sized Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into small bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Toss the potatoes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the remaining minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Coat each chicken breast with the garlic herb mixture on both sides, ensuring they are well covered.
  5. Place the baking sheet with the seasoned potatoes in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
  6. After 15 minutes, take the baking sheet out and push the potatoes to the sides to make room for the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet and return it to the oven.
  7. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are crispy and golden.
  8. Once the chicken and potatoes are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes, then add the shredded mozzarella on top of the chicken. Return the sheet to the oven for 3-5 more minutes to melt the cheese.
  9. Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve with lemon wedges for a zesty kick, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for around 15 minutes.
