Easy & Healthy Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes (One Pan)
This garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes is a one-pan, family-friendly dinner packed with cozy flavor! Easy, cheesy, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Equipment
- 9x13 Casserole Dish
- Cutting board and sharp knife
- Measuring spoons
- Garlic press or knife
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 5 medium Yukon gold potatoes peeled and sliced into rounds
- 5 medium carrots peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces (halve lengthwise if thick)
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ stick butter sliced into 8 pieces
- ½ cup shredded or freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and set the rack to the middle position. Add the sliced potatoes to the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish, followed by the carrots, then place the chicken thighs on top. Keeping the potatoes on the bottom helps them cook evenly and soak up all the flavor.
- Sprinkle salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika evenly over the chicken and veggies. Add the minced garlic and use clean hands to gently toss and coat everything so the seasonings are evenly distributed, while keeping the potatoes and carrots towards the bottom of the pan.
- Place slices of butter evenly across the top of the chicken, then sprinkle parmesan cheese over everything, especially the top of the chicken and potatoes for that cheesy chicken finish.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes and carrots are fork tender. The top should be golden brown, cheesy, and bubbling. Let rest briefly, then serve!
