Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 1 lb halved baby potatoes in a roasting pan, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: Pat 4 chicken breasts (6 oz each) dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tsp fresh thyme, 1 tsp fresh rosemary, and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over chicken, and cook for 1 more minute to coat. Serve with roasted potatoes.
