Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for extra crispiness)
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes (for a little heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. If desired, add flour for extra crispiness.
  2. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for better flavor).
  4. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  6. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Cook the Potatoes: Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes.
  8. Cook the Chicken: While the potatoes are baking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
  10. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  11. Finish the Potatoes: After the potatoes have baked for 20 minutes, remove them from the oven and toss them.
  12. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
  13. Assemble and Serve: In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked chicken and roasted potatoes.
  14. Gently toss to combine.
  15. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes (if desired).
  16. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Add other vegetables to the potatoes, such as broccoli florets, bell peppers, or onions.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for heat.
  • Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a brighter flavor.
  • Experiment with different herbs, such as thyme, basil, or chives.
  • Use a blend of Parmesan and Romano cheese for a more complex flavor.
  • Prepare the chicken and potatoes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Air fry the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, tossing occasionally.
