Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  3. Step 3: While chicken grills, preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 6 quartered red potatoes and 6 halved fingerling potatoes (white and purple) with 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Step 4: Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until edges are crispy and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Remove potatoes from oven, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and serve alongside grilled chicken.
