# How to make it:

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. In a third bowl, combine Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
03 - Pat chicken dry. Dredge each breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Set aside.
04 - Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
05 - Place seasoned potatoes on one side of the baking sheet in a single layer. Arrange coated chicken breasts on the other side. Drizzle chicken lightly with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through, until chicken is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F, and potatoes are crispy and tender.
07 - Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
