Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound small red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium lemon
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and halve the red potatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the rosemary, thyme, and parsley, reserving half of the parsley for garnish.
Step 4
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt (if using) to the potatoes. Toss well to coat evenly.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, zest the lemon and squeeze out the juice. Combine lemon zest, juice, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the lemon-olive oil mixture over the chicken, turning the pieces to coat them thoroughly.
Step 7
Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Step 8
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth into the dish, careful not to wash away the seasoning from the chicken or potatoes.
Step 9
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached at least 165°F (75°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with the reserved parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
