Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp rosemary, 1 tbsp thyme, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub mixture evenly over both sides of chicken breasts.
  2. Step 2: Arrange potatoes, carrots, and shallots in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Place chicken breasts on top of vegetables.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 25 minutes, then flip chicken and stir vegetables. Continue roasting for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender.
  4. Step 4: Transfer chicken and vegetables to a plate, tented with foil. Pour chicken stock into the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer over medium heat for 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon zest.
  5. Step 5: Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables immediately before serving to keep flavors bright and vibrant.
