  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
– 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 lemons (zested and juiced)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), chopped (optional)


Instructions

Preparing Lemon Balsamic Chicken and Potatoes is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate while you prepare the potatoes.
4. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining marinade until coated. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
5. Arrange on Sheet Pan: On a large sheet pan, spread the marinated chicken breasts and potatoes in a single layer.
6. Bake in Oven: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C) and potatoes are tender.
7. Broil for Color: If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes to give the chicken a nice golden color.
8. Rest and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs, if using, before serving.

By following these steps, you can effortlessly create a mouthwatering Lemon Balsamic Chicken and Potatoes dish that will impress your family and friends.
