Herb-Glazed Roasted Chicken with Baby Potatoes
There’s something so comforting about a pan of roasted chicken and potatoes bubbling away in the oven.

It’s simple food — but when done right, it feels special.
This Herb-Glazed Roasted Chicken with Baby Potatoes is one of those dependable recipes you’ll come back to again and again. The Dijon and honey create a subtle sweet-and-savory glaze that melts into the pan juices, coating every bite with flavor. It’s hearty enough for a Sunday dinner, but easy enough for a busy weeknight.
And the best part? It all cooks together in one dish — less cleanup, more cozy time at the table.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes (yellow and red), whole or halved if large
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven.
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish so everything roasts beautifully without sticking.
2. Season the potatoes.
In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half of the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Spread them evenly in the baking dish. Make sure they’re in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
3. Prepare the chicken.
Rub the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil and garlic. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Nestle the chicken between the potatoes in the dish. It should sit comfortably, surrounded by all that herby goodness.
4. Make the herb glaze.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and honey. The mustard adds depth, and the honey brings just a gentle sweetness.
Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
5. Roast to perfection.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes should be fork-tender with lightly crisp edges.
You’ll notice the glaze bubbling around the edges — that’s where the magic happens.
6. Broil for color (optional).
If you’d like a little extra golden finish, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end. Keep a close eye so nothing burns.
7. Rest and finish.
Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes. Spoon the warm pan juices over the sliced chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving for a fresh pop of color.
Presentation
Serve this dish family-style straight from the baking dish for a rustic, welcoming feel. Slice the chicken before plating and drizzle extra glaze over the top so it glistens.
A simple green salad or roasted vegetables on the side pair beautifully. And if you really want to elevate it, add a squeeze of fresh lemon right before serving — it brightens the herbs and balances the sweetness of the glaze.
