Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Chops:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish lightly with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful coating for the chicken.
3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides to help the coating stick better.
4. Coat the chicken breasts in the Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even crust. Place the coated chicken breasts into the greased baking dish, ensuring they’re spread evenly.
5. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is golden and crispy on top.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:

1. While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Gradually add the heavy cream, stirring continuously until it’s warmed up. Slowly add in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until they melt into a smooth and creamy sauce.
4. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
5. In a separate, greased baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes evenly. You can slightly overlap the slices for a more consistent texture.
6. Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes, ensuring all slices are covered.
7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. If you want a golden brown top, uncover the dish for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 3: Garnishing and Serving:

1. Once both the chicken and potatoes are finished baking, garnish with fresh parsley for added color and a touch of freshness.
2. Serve the chicken alongside the cheesy scalloped potatoes, and consider adding a light salad or some steamed vegetables to balance the meal.
