Chicken and Potato Bake

This Chicken and Potato Bake is a hearty, one-pan meal that’s easy to prepare and packed with flavor. Juicy, seasoned chicken is roasted alongside tender, golden potatoes, all baked together in a savory garlic and herb butter sauce.

Ingredients

For the Chicken & Potatoes:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
• 4 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into chunks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp dried thyme

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

• Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: In a bowl, toss the potato chunks with 1 ½ tbsp olive oil, half the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme. Spread them evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Bake potatoes first: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
  4. Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil and seasoning mixture.
  5. Add chicken to the dish: Remove the potatoes from the oven and nestle the seasoned chicken breasts among them.
  6. Make the garlic butter sauce: Mix melted butter with minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and half of the chopped parsley. Drizzle it over the chicken and potatoes.
  7. Bake everything together: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
  8. Add final touches: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan (if using) and the remaining fresh parsley before serving.
