Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes
A comforting one-pan meal featuring tender chicken breasts and golden potatoes in garlic butter, topped with salty Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium potatoes, diced (about 1-inch pieces) Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamier texture; russets work for a fluffier interior.
- ½ cup unsalted butter For a lower-fat option, substitute half with olive oil.
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Use freshly grated for the best melt and flavor.
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish A squeeze of fresh lemon before serving brightens the dish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure the oven rack is in the middle position for even browning.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, coating them in the garlic butter.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F oven to restore crispness.
