Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat each piece thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
Cut the baby potatoes in half, and add them to the bowl with any remaining marinade. Toss to coat evenly.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a large roasting pan.
Distribute the marinated potatoes around the chicken on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes are tender and golden.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken breasts alongside the roasted potatoes, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
