# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - Place flour in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a second bowl. Combine Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
03 - Pat chicken breasts dry. Dredge each in flour, dip in egg, then coat evenly with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Set aside.
04 - In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
05 - Spread potatoes in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet. Place coated chicken breasts on the opposite side. Drizzle chicken lightly with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through, until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are crisp and tender.
07 - Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
