Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1.5 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken mixture.
In the same bowl, combine the chicken thighs, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and place the seasoned chicken pieces on the other side of the sheet pan.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
While the chicken and potatoes finish cooking, toss the broccoli florets with a small drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
After the 15 minutes, remove the pan. Place the broccoli florets around the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes.
Bake for a final 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. This is a great one pan chicken and potatoes dinner.
Notes
For a creamier texture, you can mix 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese with the Parmesan and garlic mixture before coating the chicken.
If you prefer chicken breasts, slice them into 1-inch thick cutlets to ensure they cook at the same rate as the potatoes.
You can swap the broccoli for green beans or asparagus; add these vegetables during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
This recipe works well for a keto friendly chicken potato meal if you substitute the potatoes with cauliflower florets.
