Description
An easy, low-effort weeknight dinner featuring juicy chicken breasts and golden, crispy baby potatoes roasted on a single sheet pan with garlic and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large 18×13 inch sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Wash potatoes; cut medium/large ones in half or quarters to ensure uniform size. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the herbs, half the garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the pan.
- Pat chicken breasts dry. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining herbs. Place on the pan nestled between potatoes, ensuring they are not touching.
- In a small bowl, mix remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, melted butter, and remaining minced garlic.
- Roast for 10 minutes. Remove pan, drizzle garlic-butter mixture over chicken and potatoes. Flip chicken and toss potatoes.
- Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and potatoes are fork-tender and golden.
- Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan; use two pans if necessary to ensure potatoes roast instead of steam. Add garlic halfway through cooking to prevent burning. Chicken breasts continue cooking after removal; pull at 160°F for perfect doneness. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 minutes.
