Garlic Parmesan Chicken & Potato Bake

Garlic Parmesan Chicken & Potato Bake 

Ingredients 

Chicken 

• Olive oil cooking spray 
• 4 tablespoons olive oil 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced 
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs 
• 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese 
• 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves (or 1 tablespoon fresh) 
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, butterflied or cut in half 

Potatoes 

• 1/3 cup olive oil 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced 
• Approx. 4-5 potatoes 
• 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs 
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese 
• ½ teaspoon paprika 
• Salt and black pepper to taste 

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 350°. 
2. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil and minced garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper.
4. Dip chicken in the oil mixture and then dredge through the bread crumb mixture. Place coated chicken in the baking dish. If you wish, top with remaining bread crumb mixture. 
5. Wash & peel potatoes. Dice into small cubes (if the potato cubes are too big, they will not get soft in the oven). 
6. Mix garlic and olive oil in a large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Add remaining ingredients and toss well. 
7. Place potatoes around chicken and on top of chicken. Try not to stack the potatoes. 
8. Bake at 350 for approximately 40 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear and the potatoes are soft on the inside.
