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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Arrange the potatoes in one layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.

Step 11

Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the crispy oven-fried chicken breasts alongside the golden, roasted new potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad, if desired.
