Method
 

Preheat & Prepare:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Season the Potatoes:
  1. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
Season the Chicken:
  1. In the same bowl, coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken on the other side of the baking sheet.
Add Parmesan & Bake:
  1. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over both the chicken and potatoes.
  2. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the chicken and stir the potatoes.
Finish Cooking & Serve:
  1. Continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internally and the potatoes are golden.
  2. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Swap chicken breasts for thighs for a juicier result.
  • Add extra veggies like broccoli or bell peppers for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
