Table of Contents

For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned or plain)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Crispy Potatoes:
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halved baby potatoes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If using, add fresh herbs.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Chicken:
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Cook the Chicken:
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the coated chicken breasts.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Add Garlic:
- Once both sides are golden, add the minced garlic to the skillet around the chicken. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Combine and Serve:
- Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the oven. Add the crispy potatoes back to the skillet, tossing gently to combine.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
