Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for extra tenderness.
Meanwhile, scrub the new potatoes clean and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and the dried thyme.
Arrange the potatoes in one layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk and shake off any excess liquid. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Place the breaded chicken breasts on the other side of the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray for an extra crispy finish.
Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking.
After 20 minutes of baking, melt the unsalted butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan. Drizzle this mixture over the potatoes for extra flavor.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy oven-fried chicken breasts alongside the golden, roasted new potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad, if desired.
