Can you cook raw chicken and potatoes together?
Yes, you can cook raw chicken and potatoes together in the oven and on the same sheet pan. The key is to make sure the chicken and potatoes are relatively the same size or thickness.
Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer so they cook evenly. Then bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F and the potatoes are cooked through—and dinner will be ready!

Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Egg
- Lemon juice
- Fresh minced garlic
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Salt, pepper
- Breadcrumbs
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Small baby red potatoes
- Butter
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whisk together the egg, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large baking dish.
Step 2: Pour the marinade over the chicken making sure the chicken is completely covered. Cover and place the baking dish in the refrigerator for the chicken to marinade for at least an hour.
Step 3: Prepare the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese mixture.
Step 4: Then slowly add each piece of chicken to the mixture and dredge completely.
Baking Instructions
Step 5: Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt the butter in the microwave and then add the garlic, salt and pepper. If you find a few of the baby red potatoes are too big, you can cut them in half like I did with a few. Toss the potatoes with about ¾ of the butter mixture and make sure they're coated completely.
Step 6: Add the chicken and then the potatoes on top of the prepared sheet pan. Bake in a 400°F preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Take the sheet pan out of the oven and flip the chicken.
Tips for Making Sheet Pan Recipes
For the most part you can cook everything on one pan, but sometimes two pans is better.
At halfway through the cooking, you should always flip the protein to ensure even cooking.
Step 7: Return the chicken and potatoes to the oven to cook for an additional 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Thank you!!!
Stephen says
I’m curious if you sliced the potatoes in half before baking ?
Lois says
I used baby red potatoes and cut most of them in half. I tried to keep all the slices the same thickness. Thanks for visiting.
Kacie Arbuckle says
Made this but marinated my chicken in a pesto parmesan vinaigrette then coated it in italian breadcrumbs. I used gold baby potatoes but they still were hard after cooking....coated them in the vinaigrette mixed with olive oil! Yum!!
