Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins or breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound baby potatoes halved
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup garlic parmesan wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Method
 

Preheat and Prepare:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and set out a baking sheet.
Season the Ingredients:
  1. Trim any fat from the chicken and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Place the chicken in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining olive oil.
  3. Combine paprika, poultry seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half the seasoning over the chicken and the other half over the potatoes. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the Potatoes:
  1. Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Cook the Chicken:
  1. While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked.
Add Garlic and Butter:
  1. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Combine and Sauce:
  1. Add the roasted potatoes to the skillet with the chicken. Toss to combine.
  2. Pour the garlic parmesan wing sauce over the mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Add Cheese and Melt:
  1. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the chicken and potatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy:
  1. Once the cheese is melted and gooey, remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!

Notes

  • Potato Alternatives: You can substitute baby potatoes with diced russet, Yukon gold, or even sweet potatoes.
  • Chicken Options: Chicken thighs can be used in place of chicken tenderloins for a juicier result.
  • Cheese Substitutes: Swap mozzarella for provolone or gouda for a different cheesy flavor.
  • Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
This Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes recipe is guaranteed to become a family favorite with its bold flavors and comforting texture. Enjoy making this easy and delicious meal!
