Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven-safe skillet

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 piece lemon Juice and zest
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Vegetables

  • 1 pound baby carrots trimmed and cleaned
  • 1 pound baby potatoes halved (or quartered if large)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. In another bowl, toss the baby carrots and halved baby potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned carrots and potatoes evenly on one side of a large baking sheet.
  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Once the chicken is nicely browned, transfer the skillet to the oven alongside the baking sheet with the vegetables. Roast everything for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the garlic herb chicken garnished with chopped parsley, alongside the roasted carrots and potatoes.
