Creating Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes is simple. Follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Melt the Butter: In a large, oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
4. Sauté Garlic: Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
5. Add Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet, searing them on both sides for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
6. Add Potatoes: Scatter the diced potatoes around the chicken in the skillet. Pour any remaining garlic butter over the potatoes.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Finish & Garnish: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
