👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly around the edges of a large baking dish or sheet pan.

2️⃣ Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, dried parsley, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Rub the herb butter mixture generously over each chicken breast, coating all sides.

3️⃣ Roast Until Golden

Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of the baking dish, surrounded by the potatoes.

Roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.

4️⃣ Prepare the Honey Dijon Sauce

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, pour the pan juices into a small saucepan. Add the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, honey, and butter. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce becomes glossy and lightly thickened. Stir in the fresh parsley.

5️⃣ Assemble the Dish

Slice the roasted chicken and arrange it on a serving platter alongside the crispy baby potatoes.

6️⃣ Finish and Serve

Generously spoon the warm honey Dijon herb sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley for a beautiful finishing touch.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Pair this comforting meal with roasted asparagus, steamed green beans, glazed carrots, sautéed spinach, buttered corn, or a fresh garden salad for a complete dinner.

💡 Recipe Tips

• Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the rich herb butter sauce.
