Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. baby potatoes
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup shredded Italian blend cheese
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper, then place them in a single layer in a casserole dish. Arrange the baby potatoes around the chicken.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the garlic butter over the chicken and potatoes in the casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the red pepper flakes and half of the dried parsley over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Italian blend cheese evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Top with the remaining red pepper flakes and dried parsley. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden brown finish, turn on the broiler for the last minute, keeping a close eye on it to avoid burning.
