# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Pat chicken dry. Dredge each breast in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly 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 grated Parmesan until evenly coated.
05 - Place potatoes on one side of the baking sheet in a single layer. Place 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 reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are golden and tender.
07 - Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
