Baked chicken and potatoes in a butter garlic herb sauce, crispy garlic parmesan crusted chicken is a delicious one-pan dinner and very easy to prepare.
The Chicken is Juicy on the inside and crispy perfectly seasoned on the outside. Potatoes are tender and cooked to perfection in the pan juice. This baked chicken and potato is a perfect midweek meal and outrageously delicious.
What sets this apart from other baked chicken recipes out there is the crispy garlic parmesan crust. Searing the Chicken skin and then sprinkling parmesan on top makes the skin extra crispy.
The bonus in this dish is delicious buttery pan Juice and you will have plenty of it to dip some crusty bread into it.
Let's talk about the Butter Garlic Herb Sauce...
The butter garlic herb sauce is just delicious. Melted butter, garlic, fresh rosemary, parsley, pepper mixed together and added to the pan after chicken is seared. While the Chicken is being baked all the juice released from it gets mixed up with the butter mixture. And creates the most amazing sauce.
The amount of butter is just right for the sauce not to be too greasy. However, if you prefer, use half butter and half olive oil.
I like to add fresh herbs in this recipe. You can substitute fresh herb with dried herbs.
Baked Chicken and Potatoes
Though boneless Chicken Breast is the most popular cut used, cooking with Chicken thighs is always stress-free. A few minutes of overcooking will really not matter in the later cut. And bone-in Chicken Thighs means extra juicy and flavourful meat. I have used a mix of drumsticks and thighs in this recipe. You can make this entirely with Chicken thighs or Drumsticks.
Potatoes make this dish complete and all you have to do is serve a fresh salad to complement the meal. Potatoes when cooked along with buttery garlic pan juice, it absorbs all the flavour.
This Baked Chicken and Potato is a winner and I am sure it is going to appear on your dinner menu on a rotation.

Would any other type of pan work if I don't have a cast iron or dutch oven?
Subhasmita says
Hi, any heavy bottom pan would work as the heat gets distributed evenly.

I have not tried it yet but I will be making it for supper tonight. Thank you for sharing, I'm always looking for new recipes.

I did not have rosemary, so I substituted Italian Seasoning for the parsley and rosemary, as well as breasts for the thighs and this was a huge hit. I cooked it in our Dutch oven and it came out perfect! Came back to look up more recipes : )

Dear Ms. Subhasmita:
Blessings to you and your family. Your recipe with your creative herbs mix was quite a delight to my daughter and I. I told my daughter your recipe was an ancient Bangladesh secret but she immediately asked me why it had no ‘spunk’— you know, ‘pique’ ( as we say in Puerto Rico) or chile as they say in Mexicali-hot spice?
Anyway— it’s just a comment, I customized it with some crushed red pepper and before you know it the whole chicken was gone!
Thank you for sharing your family love with us.
“El Amor entra por la cocina” - cooking is LOVE!
Best,
Ricky
