Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 lb baby potatoes red or Yukon gold, halved or quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional, for melting

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • large mixing bowl
  • knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cut potatoes with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, half of the minced garlic, half of the Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. While potatoes bake, use the same bowl to toss chicken cubes with remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, and remaining spices (garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and paprika).
  5. Remove baking sheet from oven. Push potatoes to the sides and add seasoned chicken to the center.
  6. Return pan to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and potatoes are tender and golden.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle mozzarella over the top during the last 2 minutes of baking until melted.
  8. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes to maintain crispness. Substitutions: Use boneless chicken thighs for juicier results. Regular potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes work if you don't have baby potatoes. Mix Parmesan with Asiago or Romano for different flavor. Meal Prep: Cube chicken and cut potatoes the night before, storing separately in refrigerator. Prep seasoning mixes ahead for even quicker assembly. Tips: Ensure potatoes are spread in single layer for crispy edges. Use instant-read thermometer to verify chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
