Description

How to make juicy garlic parmesan chicken thighs and crispy potatoes in one pan that your family will love for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Base & Main Components:
  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Flavor Builders:
  • 1 lemon, half juiced, half sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Seasonings & Spices:
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Finishing & Toppings:
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces, mince garlic, and pat chicken thighs dry. This ensures even cooking for your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs and Potatoes Easy One-Pan Meal. A dry chicken skin gets extra crispy!
  2. Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This creates the flavorful base for your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs and Potatoes. Ensure all ingredients are well combined for maximum taste.
  3. Coat & Arrange: Add chicken thighs and potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss everything until thoroughly coated. Arrange chicken skin-side up and potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd the pan; use two if necessary for optimal crispiness.
  4. Bake & Flip: Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Then, flip the potatoes and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). This ensures juicy chicken and crispy potatoes.
  5. Add Parmesan: Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Add lemon slices to the pan. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly, completing your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs and Potatoes Easy One-Pan Meal.
  6. Garnish & Enjoy: Let the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs and Potatoes rest for a few minutes after baking. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, flavorful meal that everyone will love!

Notes

Never overcrowd your baking sheet; otherwise, potatoes won’t crisp and chicken will steam.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for freshness.

Boneless chicken breasts can be used, but adjust cooking time as they cook faster than thighs.

Serve warm directly from the pan, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Prep potatoes and mince garlic a day ahead, storing them separately in the fridge.

Rest chicken thighs on a wire rack post-baking for crispy skin and redistributed juices.
