## **Ingredients You’ll Need**
### **For the Chicken:**
– **Chicken Thighs** (bone-in, skin-on for extra flavor, but boneless, skinless works too)
– **Olive Oil** (for searing and added flavor)
– **Garlic** (freshly minced or pre-minced)
– **Parmesan Cheese** (freshly grated works best for flavor and texture)
– **Dried Herbs** (oregano, thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
– **Lemon Juice** (for a bright, fresh kick)
– **Salt & Pepper** (to taste)
### **For the Potatoes:**
– **Baby Potatoes** (halved or quartered for quicker cooking)
– **Olive Oil**
– **Garlic Powder** (to enhance the garlic flavor)
– **Paprika** (for color and a slight smoky flavor)
– **Parmesan Cheese** (to coat the potatoes with cheesy goodness)
## **How to Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes**
### **Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes**
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes, then place them in a bowl. Toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of parmesan cheese until well-coated. Arrange them evenly on a baking sheet and set aside.
**Step 3: Add the Garlic Parmesan Sauce**
Once the chicken is seared, remove the skillet from the heat. In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, freshly grated parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a bit more olive oil to create a rich sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is generously covered.
