Herb Butter Chicken with Roasted Potatoes

Herb butter chicken with roasted potatoes is the kind of dinner that feels bright, cozy, and homemade all at once. The chicken roasts until golden and juicy, the baby potatoes turn tender with buttery edges, and then everything gets finished with a creamy herb butter that melts right over the top.

It’s perfect for a family dinner, a relaxed weekend meal, or any night when you want something comforting but still fresh. The lemon zest, garlic, parsley, and feta add a little sparkle, making every bite rich, savory, and beautifully fragrant.

Ingredients

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Lemon slices, for garnish

For the Herb Butter Topping

• 3 tablespoons softened butter
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 small garlic clove, minced

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F, or 200°C. Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.

Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each piece is nicely coated.

In a bowl, toss the baby potatoes with melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Arrange the chicken and potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Spread everything out so it can roast instead of steam.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.

While everything roasts, make the herb butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, crumbled feta, parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic.

When the chicken comes out hot from the oven, spoon a dollop of herb butter over each thigh. Let it melt slowly into the chicken.

Garnish with lemon slices and a little extra parsley before serving warm.

Presentation

Serve the chicken and potatoes on a large platter for a rustic, inviting look. Let the melted herb butter drizzle over the chicken and onto the potatoes.

Add lemon slices around the edges and sprinkle with fresh parsley. For a fresh side, pair it with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
