Got a winner, winner, easy chicken dinner for you! Parmesan-Garlic Chicken with Roasted Potato Wedges takes just 10 minutes to prep then bakes for 35 minutes total. We’re talking fridge to the table in a snap!
You can dress it up a ton of different ways too. I served my chicken sliced and on a bed of baby spinach, but you could top the baked parmesan-garlic chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese then broil for a few minutes for easy Chicken Parmesan. Switch up the spices on the potato wedges to have anything from tex-mex to ranch potatoes!
Start with the Roasted Potato Wedges. First slice 2 russet potatoes in quarters, then each quarter into 2 or 3 wedges. You’ll want them to be about 1″ thick.
Place the wedges into a bowl then toss with 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, lots of salt and pepper, and then place the wedges on a nonstick-sprayed baking sheet and bake at 400 degree for 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are roasting, brush 2 chicken breasts on both sides with extra virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and then place onto a nonstick-sprayed baking sheet.
Mix up a yummy, flavorful concoction of 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, then smear it over the top.
Take the potato wedges out and then flip, then place both the potatoes and chicken back into the oven for 20 minutes. Top the hot potato wedges with a sprinkle of more parmesan cheese, and then dinner’s done!

I seriously need to bake my chicken more often. It comes out so tender, moist, and juicy. The golden, parmesan-garlic crust was perfection on top too. Bursting with flavor!
My favorite was definitely the roasted potato wedges – Ben went nuts for ’em! So easy, too.
YUM.
Well I hope you had a wonderful weekend too, friends! Off to wind down with some Oscar fashions before the start of a crazy week. See ya’!

So do the wedges have any parmesan or anything topping them before they cook?
Iowa Girl Eats 03.03.2013
Nope, just afterwards!

How do you place 2 baking sheets in the oven to roast at the same time?–do you put the taters on the bottom rack, or the chicken? I’m afraid one will burn…
Iowa Girl Eats 02.27.2013
I put them side by side on the middle rack!

All I have to say is $4.95 for a sandwich and side?! UNREAL! Looks amazingly delicious!

Hickory Park – I love that place! I grew up in Ames and worked at HP for awhile. One nice thing about working there is you did so much running around during your shift, I never gained a pound while working there – and I am addicted to their cheeseballs! :) Oh, and SIPS! So many good memroies at that place!
Theresa 02.26.2013
I should have an Iowa Girl Eats board on my Pinterest because I pin ALL of your recipes! Love them! My boyfriend and I just moved in together, and he LOVES chicken. I can take it or leave it. So I’ve been making a lot of your recipes and I always love them! This one will be the next we try for sure. We made that Beer and Honey chicken from your Friday Favorites last week, seriously so good! If you haven’t made it yet, you should!

Another proud ISU alum! I love going back (generally three-four times/year) to visit the campus, catch a game, and we finally stopped at Hickory Park on our last trip in November. You can’t go there without a sundae. That places brings back so many memories.

Another ISU alum here and Hickory Park fanatic! So many memories of eating there during college with friends & visiting family. The saucy southerner is SO delish and I wish I could go to HP right now for dinner. Since we live in AZ now I’ll have to stick with your photos. Thanks for the memory lane trip. :)

Iowa State alum here, married to a Kansas Stater. I was just telling my hubs about Hickory Park yesterday, and how flipping amazing that place is!
Glad to see Paddy’s and Sips are still around. Is Cy’s still there?? MANY afternoons may or may not have been spent FACing at said establishments. :)

I have been a big fan of your blog for a long time! Love the cooking, love the writing, love the photos. I am so guilty of reading and not commenting, but I had to today. I went to ISU and loved seeing your shots around town. Always enjoy catching up on your site! Thank you!

Mmmm Hickory Park. My 2nd favorite restaurant in Ames (Dublin Bay is my favorite). It is always so weird when I visit Ames as so much has changed and there has been so much growth.
Kim 02.25.2013
