Enjoy a flavorful and easy weeknight dinner with One-Pan Garlic Parmesan Chicken & Crispy Potatoes. Juicy chicken breasts baked with crispy potatoes in a savory garlic parmesan sauce, all prepared in a single skillet for minimal cleanup and maximum taste.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound of potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work well)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and chopping your potatoes into small cubes. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both the chicken and potatoes with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once crispy, transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to low, add the minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and a splash of water or chicken broth to create a creamy sauce. Return the chicken and crispy potatoes to the skillet, coating everything in the sauce.
  5. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor garnish.
  • Marinate the chicken with garlic and herbs for 30 minutes beforehand for extra tenderness.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lemon to add brightness to the dish.
