Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (mix of red and yellow), washed and halved if large
Garlic Herb Sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking during roasting.
- Season chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts in the center of the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut the larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Make garlic herb sauce: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and the finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme. Stir well until fully incorporated.
- Drizzle sauce and roast: Drizzle the garlic herb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and potatoes, ensuring everything is nicely coated. Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Rest and serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices for a moist and flavorful dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the garlic herb sauce for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (74°C).
- If you prefer crispier potatoes, toss them with a little more olive oil before roasting.
- This recipe pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
