Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, half of the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Place the chicken thighs on top.
- Rub the chicken with the remaining Cajun seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Roast in the oven for 40–45 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes and chicken. Return to oven for 3 minutes to melt.
- Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispy chicken skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Use boneless thighs or chicken breasts if preferred, but adjust cook time accordingly.
- Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
