  4. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, arranging the potatoes cut-side down. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons seasoning.

  6. Set the chicken on top of the vegetables on the baking sheet.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Paprika: Paprika adds both flavor and color to the chicken. Alter the flavor of the dish by switching to smoked paprika.
  • Poblano chiles: Poblanos are generally quite mild, but there’s a chance you could get a slightly spicier one. Substitute extra bell peppers if needed.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 4 generous servings.
  • Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a pan for best results.
