- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions

- Coat the Chicken and Potatoes: Pour the Parmesan garlic mixture over the chicken and potatoes, making sure everything is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor infusion.
