Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes (Five Ingredients)
Description
Chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes are tossed in a combination of neutral cooking oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan, then spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Baking at high heat first and finishing under the broiler creates crispy, golden potatoes and browned chicken edges. The tender chicken and flavorful potatoes create an easy one-pan meal with minimal prep.
The ranch seasoning blend delivers a herbal, slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with the nuttiness of Parmesan. The garlic powder adds a subtle aromatic punch. The quick bake followed by broiling ensures the potatoes develop a crisp exterior while the chicken cooks through evenly.
This dish can be served as a simple weeknight dinner or meal prep option. Adding parsley as a garnish adds color and freshness. It pairs well with a green salad or steamed vegetables if desired.
A useful tip from the notes suggests browning the chicken briefly in a skillet before baking to boost color and flavor. This step is optional but enhances the final appearance and texture.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast or 4-6 boneless thighs, boneless skinless
- 1 ½-2 pounds potato baby red and/or gold
- ¼ cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix about two packets, dry
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded or from the green can, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and pound chicken breasts to even thickness (less than 1 inch throughout). Grease a large sheet pan and set aside.
- Arrange chicken and potatoes on prepared pan in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper, Ranch seasoning, and garlic powder. Toss to coat well. Sprinkle parmesan over the potatoes.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then switch to broil for 3-5 minutes until potatoes are crispy and chicken is browned. (Watch carefully so it doesn't burn). Garnish with parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- For more color and flavor, sear the chicken briefly in a hot oiled skillet before placing on the sheet pan.
- Watch carefully when broiling to prevent burning while achieving crispy potatoes and browned chicken.
