Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Place them in a large bowl.
Cut the baby red potatoes in half, or quarters if they are large, and add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme finely, and add to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the chicken and potatoes.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss everything well to coat the chicken and potatoes evenly with the herbs and seasoning.
Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a baking dish, arranging the chicken over the potatoes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
About halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes gently to ensure even baking.
Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve your low-fat herb roasted chicken with potatoes warm.
