Equipment

  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces (Yukon Gold, russet, or red)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 8 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1½ cups shredded cheese mozzarella and cheddar preferred

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 small zucchini sliced
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare the Potatoes: Toss potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer in a large oven-safe skillet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Season the Chicken: While the potatoes roast, coat the chicken breasts with olive oil. Mix paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then rub the mixture onto the chicken.
  • Add Chicken to Skillet: Remove the skillet from the oven. Flip the potatoes and nestle the chicken among them. Return to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
  • Add Cheese and Sauce: Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle cheese on top and broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Serve: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
  • Add seasonal veggies like bell peppers or broccoli.
  • For a Mediterranean twist, add olives and feta.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
