Well, let me tell you, this here garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes is a real winner. I make it all the time, specially when we have many people over. Everybody loves it, I tell ya. It ain’t fancy, but it sure is tasty, and easy to cook. If you want to know how to cook garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes, just follow my steps.
First off, you gotta get yourself some chicken. I like them chicken breasts, but them thighs work too, they got more juice in ’em. Then you need some taters. Them little gold ones or the red ones, they’re good. You need about a pound and a half of them, you know, not too many, not too little. Just get enough potatoes to feed your family.
Now, for the good stuff, the garlic and the parmesan. You gotta have garlic, lots of it. Chop it up real fine. And that parmesan cheese, the grated kind, you need a good amount of that too. Don’t be shy with it, it will make your chicken tastes so good!
- Chicken breasts or thighs, about 4 of ’em
- Potatoes, them little gold ones or red ones, about 1.5 pounds
- Garlic, gotta have lots of it, chopped up real fine
- Parmesan cheese, the grated kind, a good handful
- Olive oil, some oregano, some thyme, paprika, salt and pepper
Alright, so you get your oven goin’, heat it up to 400. That’s a good temperature, not too hot, not too cold. While that’s heatin’ up, you gotta get a big ol’ bowl. Toss your chicken in there and potatoes in there. You cut up them potatoes into little chunks, by the way. Don’t leave ’em whole, that ain’t right.
Then, in a little bowl, you mix up some olive oil, that chopped garlic, that parmesan cheese, and some herbs. I like oregano and thyme, but you can use whatever you got. A little paprika for some color, and salt and pepper, of course. You mix all that up good. The garlic parmesan mixture is ready, now pour it over the chicken and potato.
Pour that all over your chicken and potatoes in the big bowl. Get your hands in there and mix it all up. Make sure every piece of chicken and every chunk of potato is covered in that good stuff. It is important to make your chicken and potatoes all covered with garlic and parmesan.
Now, you get a baking sheet. I like to put some of that parchment paper on it, makes clean up easier. Spread your chicken and potatoes on that sheet. Make sure they ain’t all piled up on each other. They need space to get all crispy and golden brown, you know?
Pop that in the oven and let it bake. It takes a while, maybe 40 minutes, maybe more. Just keep an eye on it. You want that chicken cooked through and them potatoes nice and soft. And that parmesan cheese will get all melty and bubbly. Oh, it’s so good, I tell ya!
While that’s cookin’, you can make a little salad if you want. Just some greens and a simple dressing. Lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, that’s all you need. Whisk it up, it’s way better than that bottled stuff, and easy peasy.
Once that chicken is done and them potatoes are soft, you take it out of the oven. Let it cool down a bit, you don’t wanna burn your mouth. Then you just serve it up. Everyone gets a piece of chicken and some of them tasty potatoes. You want a easy and delicious dinner? This is your garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes!
