Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 cooking spatula
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 aluminum foil optional

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese (¼ cup). Mix well to create a marinade.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Set aside for a few minutes to let the flavors infuse.
  • On a baking sheet, arrange the halved baby potatoes. Drizzle them with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Place the marinated chicken thighs on the same baking sheet, skin-side up, among the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Optional: For extra crispy skin, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking time.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred, but adjust cooking time as breasts may cook faster.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or green beans for added nutrition and flavor.
Ensure that all ingredients are evenly spread on the baking sheet to allow for proper cooking and browning.
