Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1.5 lbs red potatoes into 1-inch cubes, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: Pat 1.5 lbs chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Sear chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: While chicken bakes, zest and juice 1 lemon. Stir zest into 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme and 1 tsp lemon juice. Remove chicken from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then drizzle with lemon-thyme mixture and serve with roasted potatoes.
