Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Roasted Potatoes:

• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary/thyme. Spread them onto a baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, mix together paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and onion powder.
4. Heat butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, then place chicken breasts in the pan. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
5. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add lemon juice to deglaze the pan.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F/75°C).
7. While the chicken bakes, place the baking sheet with potatoes into the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
8. Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot!

Serving Suggestions & Variations:

• Add a side of steamed green beans or roasted asparagus for extra veggies.
• Swap chicken for boneless skinless thighs for a juicier variation.
• Add Parmesan cheese to the potatoes for a crispy, cheesy finish.
