Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 pieces medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs and potato cubes to the bowl. Toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the chicken and potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the chicken is surrounded by the potatoes but not overlapping.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes for extra flavor.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
