Scale
Chicken and Poultry:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tbsp sour cream
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Potatoes:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Herbs:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and optimal roasting.
- Thoroughly wash baby potatoes and cut them into uniform halves, ensuring even cooking and crispy edges.
- Toss potato halves with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano, coating each piece completely for maximum flavor infusion.
- Spread seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, creating space between each piece to promote crispy roasting.
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a perfect golden crust.
- Create a flavorful coating by mixing grated parmesan cheese, additional minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thick, even coating that will create a crispy exterior.
- Arrange coated chicken breasts alongside the potatoes on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Melt butter and combine with chicken broth and sour cream, then drizzle the mixture over the chicken and potatoes for added moisture and richness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful chicken.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving to add a bright, fresh finish to the dish.
Notes
- Pat chicken breasts completely dry to prevent soggy coating and guarantee a perfectly crisp exterior.
- Use room temperature ingredients like butter and sour cream for more even cooking and better ingredient integration.
- Select small, uniform baby potatoes to ensure consistent roasting and attractive presentation.
- Experiment with herb variations like thyme or rosemary to personalize the flavor profile and keep the dish exciting.
