Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Potatoes

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken and potatoes evenly.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Marinate ingredients: Place chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes into a large zip-top bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor.
  4. Arrange on sheet pan: Spread the marinated chicken and potatoes evenly on a sheet pan in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  5. Bake the dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 75°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor, then serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor depth, marinate the chicken and potatoes overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Add other vegetables such as sliced bell peppers or green beans to the sheet pan for variety.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety.
