Description

Cheesy Garlic Chicken with Roasted Potatoes & Cherry Tomatoes is a hearty, comforting dish that combines juicy, garlic-marinated chicken breasts with golden roasted potatoes and sweet, blistered cherry tomatoes. Topped with melted mozzarella and Parmesan, this one-pan dinner is as easy as it is delicious — perfect for busy weeknights or casual entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.

  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil with garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. Rub the garlic mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.

  4. In a separate bowl, toss baby potatoes with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken, potatoes, and cherry tomatoes in the baking dish.

  6. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, then remove and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the chicken.

  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).

  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.

Notes

You can use chicken thighs for extra juiciness, or add red onion slices for more flavor. To speed things up, microwave potatoes for 3–4 minutes before roasting. This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or crusty bread to soak up the cheesy garlic juices.
