Description
A simple and flavorful one-pan meal featuring juicy garlic Parmesan chicken thighs roasted with crispy golden baby potatoes, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the minced garlic, half the Parmesan, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Pat chicken thighs dry and rub with remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the potatoes.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are golden and tender.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Swap baby potatoes for diced sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
- Add carrots, green beans, or Brussels sprouts to the roasting pan for extra veggies.
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts instead of thighs, adjusting cooking time.
- Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of cooking for a cheesier crust.
- Use fresh rosemary or thyme instead of dried herbs for more aroma.
- Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or microwave individual portions.
