Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast or thighs, cut into chunks
- 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes, quartered
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut chicken and potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Mince garlic.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, potatoes, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and garlic. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden.
- Garnish with parsley and Parmesan before serving.
Notes
- For crispier potatoes, ensure they are well spaced on the baking sheet.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
- If you prefer less heat, opt for a mild Cajun seasoning blend or reduce the amount used.
