Baking chicken and potatoes together is a timeless culinary tradition that combines convenience with rich, comforting flavors. This recipe allows the savory aroma of herbs and spices to permeate both the tender, juicy chicken and the crisp, golden potatoes.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, making sure they are well coated with the marinade. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, toss the potato chunks with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the marinated chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are golden and crispy. Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
