Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp butter, melted

How to Make the Best Herb-Roasted Chicken

Preheat your oven to 220°C / 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the diced potatoes, bell peppers, and red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the tray.

This mix adds lovely flavor to the veggies.

Rub the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil, garlic, melted butter, and extra seasoning. Place them beside the vegetables.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F and the potatoes are golden and crisp.

You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is juicy and the potatoes are crispy.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips. Garnish with fresh parsley and spoon the roasting juices over everything before serving.

The smell alone will bring everyone to the kitchen.

How to Serve

Serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh salad. Drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze for extra flavor. For a cozy night, pair it with a glass of white wine. This meal will impress both kids and adults alike.

How to Store

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze it, wrap portions tightly and keep them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature for the best results to keep everything crispy.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Result

Ensure your chicken is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
