Equipment

  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 vegetable peeler optional
  • 1 aluminum foil optional

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 pounds.
  • 2 cups baby potatoes About 1 pound, halved.
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs Or 1 tablespoon fresh herbs.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish (optional).

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the mixture and ensure they are thoroughly coated in the garlic herb oil. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts in the center of a baking dish and place the halved potatoes around them.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, check the chicken for doneness; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If needed, continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes until fully cooked and the cheese is golden.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the chicken and potatoes warm.

Notes

You can customize the dish by adding your favorite vegetables alongside the potatoes, such as broccoli or asparagus.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the garlic mixture for a couple of hours or overnight before cooking.
Keep an eye on the cheese towards the end of cooking to avoid burning. If it gets too brown, you can cover it with foil for the remaining baking time.
