Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F, or 220°C. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or roasting pan so everything roasts nicely without sticking.

Place the baby potatoes in a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated with the herbs and oil.

Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Roast them for 15 minutes first. This gives them a little head start, so they have time to become golden and tender.

While the potatoes begin roasting, prepare the chicken. In the same bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, remaining garlic, onion powder, and a small pinch of extra salt and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and turn them in the mixture until they are evenly coated.

Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the baking sheet, placing them among the potatoes. Scatter the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion wedges around the chicken.

Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F, or 74°C, in the center. The potatoes should be golden and tender, and the peppers should look soft and lightly caramelized.

Once everything is done, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This small step helps keep it juicy.

Slice the chicken and serve it with the roasted potatoes, peppers, and onions. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a bright, fresh finish.

Presentation

For a beautiful serving, arrange the sliced chicken over a bed of roasted potatoes and peppers. Let the colors shine — the golden potatoes, red and yellow peppers, and purple-red onion make the plate look naturally vibrant.

A sprinkle of chopped parsley adds freshness and a pretty pop of green. You can also add a few lemon wedges on the side for anyone who wants an extra squeeze of brightness.

This dish looks especially lovely served family-style on a large platter. Place the chicken in the center and spoon the roasted vegetables around it, letting all those herby juices gather at the bottom.
