Parmesan-Garlic Chicken with Roasted Potato Wedges is a quick and crowd-pleasing meal with lots of satisfying flavor.
Got a winner of an easy chicken dinner for you!
Parmesan-Garlic Chicken with Roasted Potato Wedges take just 10 minutes to prep then bake — HANDS OFF — for 35 minutes total. We’re talking a completel meal that goes from fridge to the table in under an hour!
You can dress it up a ton of different ways too. These photos show the chicken sliced 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!
Baking chicken is one of my very favorite ways to cook out — they turn out so tender, moist, and juicy. The golden, parmesan-garlic crust is perfection on top, too. So much cozy flavor!
The roasted potato wedges are stars, too. I LOVE this easy side dish.
Enjoy!

I am ALLLL about these potato wedges. They look so good and perfectly crispy! Just how I like them :).
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. :)
It is!! I was glad to see it was still around too. ;)
LOVE Hickory Park! It’s been a minutes since we’ve traveled north for that deliciousness! I *always* order the saucy southerner, too! I want to try more of the menu but just can’t stray from my favorite!
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.
I love the pics from around Ames — great memories!! Thanks for sharing :)
Our kids went to ISU, and we always ate at Hickory Park when we were in Ames. I could never order anything but the Sassy Southern either. Why mess with perfection? Mmmmm, now I am really craving BBQ.
Just wanted to say thank you for posting pictures of Iowa! The snowy country view makes me miss Iowa so much! Once an Iowa girl…always an Iowa girl.
Love your blog for many reasons
Thanks again!
What a fun weekend! That BBQ sandwich looks in-sane. I’ve gotta make some potato wedges like this soon, they look so perfectly crisp!
Your photography makes me feel like I am right there enjoying the meal with you. Graduated from ISU in ’68 and haven’t been back since so looks like I missed a good eating place by a couple of years.
Finding a great BBQ place like that takes some skill. I grew up in Texas and I’m still convinced that nobody can smoke a brisket like my dad. Who I have forgiven for convincing me that brisket was the meat of some strange bird. I believed this until I was 20… maybe I shouldn’t confess that in public.
I thought I recognized those potato wedges from ELR. They look yummy! I want to see the movie with Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock, it looks freakin hilarious! Almost as funny as Ben stuffing his face with popcorn, lol.
