Print Recipe

This hearty dish features tender chicken coated in rich garlic butter, accompanied by crispy roasted potatoes and sweet cherry tomatoes. Perfect for a comforting weeknight meal that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • For the Potatoes and Tomatoes:
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in thyme. Set aside.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and brush with half of the garlic butter.
  5. Meanwhile, toss the halved potatoes and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in an even layer.
  6. Place the seared chicken on top of the potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining garlic butter.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the potatoes are tender.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, toss the potatoes with a bit of cornstarch before roasting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
