Turn your oven up to 400°F (200°C). Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet, or drizzle it with a bit of oil if that's what you prefer.

Use paper towels to dry the chicken—this makes the spices stick better. In a small bowl, combine the Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil, rubbing the seasoning evenly on all sides.

In a mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes well with olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic, shredded Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the potatoes are fully covered in the mixture.
04 -
Place the seasoned chicken on one half of your sheet pan, leaving space between each piece. Spread your potatoes on the other half, cut-side facing down to make them crispy.
05 -
Pop the pan in your preheated oven and roast it for 25–30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through so they brown evenly. The chicken is cooked when its center is 165°F (74°C)—use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
06 -
During the last 5 minutes, sprinkle extra Parmesan over your chicken and potatoes. For a golden crust, switch to broil and watch closely so it doesn't burn.

Take your pan out of the oven and scatter the chopped fresh parsley over everything. Serve while hot, straight from the pan onto plates.
