Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1.5 pounds cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 30 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: Set up a breading station: place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then eggs, then panko, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons chopped dill. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest. Pour over the chicken and serve with roasted potatoes.
