Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° F (218° C). Spray baking dish with cooking spray or rub with additional oil.
Use a kitchen towel or paper towels to dry chicken and vegetables off and absorb excess moisture.
Place chicken, potatoes, red pepper, onion slices, and garlic into prepared baking dish and drizzle with 3 Tbsp. oil.
Add paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and rub in with hands to coat evenly.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring once half way through.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Turn oven to broil and cook for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

*Can use 2 tsp. minced garlic or 1 tsp. garlic powder instead if desired.
