Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts evenly with the herb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  2. Step 2: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to preheated oven at 400°F (200°C).
  3. Step 3: Toss potato pieces with salt and pepper, then spread in a single layer around the chicken in the skillet. Roast for 25 minutes until potatoes are tender and crispy around the edges, and chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and potatoes. Slice chicken and serve immediately with roasted potatoes.
