Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Potatoes:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, half of the Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Rub the chicken with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Pan:
Arrange the seasoned potatoes on one side of the baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs on the other side, skin-side up.
Roast the Dish:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
Broil for Crispiness:
For extra crispy skin and potatoes, switch to the broil setting for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and potatoes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious one-pan dinner!
