For the Chicken & Potatoes
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss chicken and potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Spread the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  5. While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  6. Once the chicken and potatoes are done, drizzle the garlic parmesan sauce over them.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure that your chicken and potatoes are cut into roughly equal sizes to promote even cooking. Overcrowding the baking sheet can lead to steaming rather than roasting, so space them out or use two sheets if necessary. Don't be shy with the parmesan; use a high-quality, freshly grated cheese for the most pronounced flavor. For extra crispy potatoes, you can parboil them for about 5 minutes before tossing them in the oil and spices. Adding a sprinkle of dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the chicken and potatoes before roasting can also deepen the flavor profile. Lastly, watch the garlic closely when melting the butter to prevent it from burning, which can give the sauce a bitter taste.
