Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes if desired (optional) and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Spread them over one side of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes and season with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the chicken breasts on the other side of the baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken and season with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Melt the butter and drizzle it into the mixture, stirring until combined.

Step 6

Press the Parmesan-panko mixture evenly onto the tops of the chicken breasts to form a crust.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

Step 9

Take the dish out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Parmesan Chicken and Potato Bake!
