Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 pounds diced chicken breast, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well to coat all chicken pieces evenly and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, toss 1.5 pounds cut Yukon gold potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well coated. Spread potatoes evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Arrange marinated chicken pieces on the baking sheet alongside the potatoes in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes and chicken halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden and tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
