- Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Potatoes:
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Roasted Potatoes
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the potatoes around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Bake the Chicken and Potatoes
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it over the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.
Garnish and Serve
- Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish the chicken and potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for added flavor, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
