Print Recipe

Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is a one-pan wonder featuring crispy baby potatoes, tender chicken thighs, and a garlicky Parmesan cream sauce that’s perfect for busy weeknights or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or 4 boneless skinless breasts)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Lemon juice

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread on a large baking sheet.
  • 2. Pat chicken dry, season generously with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to baking sheet with potatoes.
  • 3. In same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp oil and minced garlic. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes, then stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until smooth.
  • 4. Pour garlic cream sauce over chicken and potatoes on baking sheet. Bake 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are crispy.
  • 5. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use Yukon gold or red baby potatoes for best texture.
  • For lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Boneless chicken cooks faster – check at 20 minutes.
  • Leftovers reheat well with a splash of broth to revive sauce.
