**Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes** 🧄🧀
**Ingredients:**
* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
* 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
* 5 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* 1 tsp paprika
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat oven** to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
2. **Prepare potatoes:** In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic, half the Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Spread them evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
3. **Prepare chicken:** In the same bowl, combine chicken breasts with remaining olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat well.
4. **Arrange on pan:** Place chicken next to the potatoes on the baking sheet.
5. **Bake** for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C internal temp) and potatoes are tender and golden.
6. **Optional:** Broil for 2–3 minutes to crisp up the cheese and edges.
7. **Garnish** with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan before serving.
**Serving Tip:**
Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
