Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 pounds red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all chicken surfaces are covered. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash and quarter the red potatoes (leave the skin on).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, onion powder, and parsley.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes evenly on one side of the sheet and place the marinated chicken breasts on the other side.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the roasted chicken alongside the herbed potatoes, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
