Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Finely chop 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Mix with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to form a paste.
  3. Step 3: Press the herb-flour mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage.
  4. Step 4: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add chicken and cook for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Step 5: Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Step 6: While chicken roasts, toss 2 pounds diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Roast on a separate baking sheet for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until golden and crisp.
  7. Step 7: Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving with roasted potatoes.
