Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Cut baby potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Combine potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and half the salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated and spread on one side of the baking sheet.
  4. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In the same bowl, toss the chicken with the remaining olive oil, ranch seasoning, paprika, and the rest of the salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Let everything rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure crispy edges. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
