Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Zest one lemon and then juice both lemons. Set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large, shallow baking tray.
Pour the herb and lemon mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cut the red onion into wedges and scatter them around the chicken in the tray.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the tray.
Cut the baby new potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size and add them around the chicken.
Toss the vegetables gently to coat them in the lemon and herb marinade.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden, and the potatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to mingle.
Serve the chicken, vegetables, and potatoes, drizzling with any remaining juices from the tray for extra flavor.
