Instructions

- Marinate - Pour or use a pastry brush to brush the olive oil over everything. Sprinkle the chicken seasoning all over the chicken and veggies, then flip the chicken pieces and sprinkle more seasoning. Pro tip - Alternatively, you can use an olive oil spray and give the chicken and veggies a generous spray.4 tbsp Olive oil
- Roast - Bake on the middle rack in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces over. Move the potatoes to one side of the pan and keep the chicken on the other side. Pro tip - By now the potatoes have soaked up the chicken juices, which is why we scatter them all over in the beginning.
- Smash - Use the bottom of the glass to smash the potatoes. Pro tip - The potatoes are soft and have soaked up all the chicken juices from the pan so smash them carefully.
- Parmesan - Grate the parmesan generously over the smashed potatoes. Then, top with the hard grated cheddar. Pro tip - It is easier to sprinkle the cheese when the potatoes are all on one side of the pan.½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ cup Hard cheese
- Bake - Put the sheet pan back into the oven and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes more or until golden on top.
- Parsley - Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
