Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
Marinade
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and potatoes.
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the chicken and potatoes: Place the chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over them, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Arrange on sheet pan: Remove the chicken and potatoes from the marinade and spread them out in a single layer on a sheet pan, ensuring even spacing for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken and potatoes for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling potatoes or small red potatoes.
- For extra crispiness, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
