Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken thighs
Vegetables
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings & Oils
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting.
- Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This mixture will infuse the chicken and potatoes with savory flavors.
- Coat Chicken and Potatoes: Add the chicken thighs and diced potatoes to the bowl and toss everything well to evenly coat with the olive oil and seasoning mixture.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the coated chicken and potatoes into a baking dish, spreading everything out to allow for even cooking.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes, adding a delicious cheesy crust as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven, serve hot, and enjoy your garlic Parmesan chicken and potatoes.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes while watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for added aroma.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
