Ingredients

• 1.5 lb baby potatoes
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0 seasoned butter mixture
• 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0 buttery herb sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baby potatoes in a parchment-lined baking dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and pour the seasoned butter mixture evenly over everything, making sure the chicken and potatoes are well coated.
4. Bake for approximately 35–45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the chicken and return to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and beautifully golden.
6. Serve warm, spooning some of the buttery herb sauce from the baking dish over the top!
