Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, and 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear chicken for 3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to oven. Roast for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, toss 1 lb cubed russet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper on a separate baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until crispy and golden.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from skillet, leaving juices behind. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1 tsp Dijon mustard to the skillet, scraping browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Place chicken on a platter, surround with roasted potatoes, and drizzle with lemon-infused pan sauce. Garnish with lemon slices and extra herbs.
