Main Ingredients Needed:

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Step 2: Prepare the Red Potatoes

- 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.

Looking forward to making this. Love the ease and simplicity of sheet pan dinners.
Lois says
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!!
Lois says
Love how you made the recipe your own. Thank you for visiting and sharing!
Linda says
Had this for supper last night. I could not get over how unbelievably moist the chicken was. Best I have ever had. And, I followed the recipe exactly!! Thanks!
Lois says
Thank you for the wonderful comment. I'm happy you enjoyed the recipe Linda!
Terri says
This looks awesome. I am definitely making this.
Desiree says
Can you use frozen chicken breast? This looks delicious
Lois says
I sent you a personal email regarding this question Desiree. You can use frozen chicken breast, but just be careful the veggies don't overcook. I would cook the chicken separately for awhile and then add the veggies. I have never tried this recipe using frozen chicken breasts, so let me know how it turns out! Thanks for visiting.

Love the idea of everything in one pan. I pounded the chicken breasts as they were very thick, probably wasn't a very good idea, my husband felt to dry, the potatoes were wonderful and I put asparagus on its own foil. If I make again, I will bake the chicken on a rack on the pan and still place potatoes around rack. Why, because that wonderful coating is soggy and would probably crisp/brown up better and one wouldn't have to turn it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful quick recipe.
Lois says
I'm guessing the chicken you pounded was too thin and cooked too fast which is why it dried out. Let me know if using the baking rack helps you. Ours didn't come out soggy at all. Thanks for visiting!
Joanne says
This sounds absolutely delicious! Pinned.
Lois says
Thank you Joanne!
Terri says

What a great weeknight dinner! We do love our chicken and we like to find different variations on how to serve it. Easy cleanup is a big bonus. We'll be making this recipe this coming week. It looks so tasty especially with the lemon, garlic, and parmesan. YUM!!

This looks like a great dinner for any busy weeknight. It can cook while you get lunches ready for tomorrow. I know my family would enjoy this. Chicken is always a hit. Less cleanup means more time to yourself at night too.
