Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is both straightforward and enjoyable. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Pan: In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, add olive oil. Swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
3. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
4. Add Garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic on top of the chicken thighs, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
5. Arrange Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes around the chicken thighs in the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and more dried herbs if desired.
6. Add Parmesan: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over both the chicken and potatoes, ensuring an even coating.
7. Roast in the Oven: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): If you desire an extra crispy finish, turn on the broiler for an additional 3-5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
9. Garnish and Rest: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken and potatoes, ensuring everyone gets a taste of the garlic and Parmesan goodness.
