Ingredient Notes
Chicken Breast
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for this recipe because they cook quickly and evenly. You can also substitute with chicken thighs for a juicier result, though cooking time may slightly increase.
Baby Potatoes
Baby potatoes are perfect because of their thin skin and creamy interior. They crisp up beautifully in the oven. If unavailable, you can use Yukon Gold or red potatoes—just cut them into uniform pieces.
Garlic
Fresh garlic is essential for achieving that rich, aromatic flavor. Avoid garlic powder if possible, as it won’t provide the same depth.
Parmesan Cheese
Use freshly grated parmesan for best results. Prepackaged parmesan may not melt and crisp as well. Parmesan adds a nutty, salty flavor and helps create a crispy coating.
Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil enhances flavor and helps everything roast evenly. You can substitute with avocado oil if preferred.
Paprika
Adds a subtle smokiness and enhances color. Smoked paprika can be used for a deeper flavor.
Italian Seasoning
A blend of herbs like basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary that brings balance and aroma to the dish.
Salt & Pepper
Essential for seasoning and enhancing all other flavors. Adjust according to taste.
Fresh Parsley (Optional)
Adds freshness and a pop of color to the final dish.
