Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 pound baby potatoes, halved

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

      Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor).

        Prepare the Potatoes: In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining marinade (if any). Make sure they are well coated, then season with a little extra salt and pepper if desired.

          Arrange in Baking Dish: In a large baking dish, place the marinated chicken thighs in the center. Surround them with the coated baby potatoes, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

            Bake in the Oven: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

              Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): If you like your chicken and potatoes crispy, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

                Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot with a side of lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
