Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed
  • 3 medium russet or Idaho baking potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red or green bell pepper, cut into 1x1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts on pan. Place potatoes, bell pepper and onion on pan with chicken.
  • 2
    Pour melted margarine over chicken and vegetables. In small bowl, combine cheese, garlic powder and paprika; sprinkle over chicken and vegetables.
  • 3
    Bake at 400°F. for 30 to 35 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F); stirring vegetables once halfway through cooking.

  • Russet and Idaho baking potatoes, both mealy-textured, are preferred for baking. Waxy-textured potatoes, such as red-skinned and Yukon gold varieties, have a firmer consistency that's better for boiling and salads.
  • Use cubed zucchini or yellow summer squash, or both, in place of the bell pepper.
  • Sprinkle each serving with minced fresh parsley and chives.
  • Serve with tomato and lettuce salad and whole-grain rolls.
  • This baked chicken and potatoes recipe calls for bone-in chicken breasts, which tend to have a bit more flavor than boneless chicken breasts. The bone adds flavor to the meat while it cooks. As a bonus, bone-in meat is usually cheaper than boneless cuts at the store, giving you more bang for your buck.
