Ingredients
    For the Chicken & Potatoes Base
  • 4 pcs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 500 g baby potatoes (halved)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
    • For the Garlic Parmesan Coating
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 of Zest lemon (optional for brightness)
Instructions
    Preheat and Prep
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Rinse and halve the baby potatoes, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
    2. Season the Chicken & Potatoes
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, halved baby potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss everything together until well-coated with the seasoning.
    3. Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, red chili flakes, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
    4. Arrange and Bake
  4. 4
    Place the seasoned chicken and potatoes onto the prepared baking tray. Arrange in a single layer with some space between for even roasting. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
    5. Brush with Garlic Parmesan Butter
  5. 5
    Remove the tray from the oven. Brush the garlic parmesan butter mixture over the chicken and potatoes generously. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10–12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden and crispy.
    6. Rest and Serve
  6. 6
    Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of parmesan if desired. Serve warm.
Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.

Variations: Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or add carrots for extra veggies.

Make it Crispy: Broil the last 2–3 minutes to enhance crispiness on top.

Protein Options: Works well with bone-in chicken thighs or even drumsticks—just adjust cooking time accordingly.
