- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 pounds red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
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.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, onion powder, and parsley.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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).
Step 8
Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve the roasted chicken alongside the herbed potatoes, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
