Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Topping
- 4 ounces Boursin cheese (herb and garlic flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking of the chicken and potatoes.
- Season Chicken and Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the chicken breasts and halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme to ensure even seasoning.
- Bake: Arrange the chicken breasts and potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are fork-tender.
- Add Boursin Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. While the chicken and potatoes are still hot, spoon dollops of Boursin cheese evenly on top of the chicken breasts and potatoes, allowing the cheese to soften and slightly melt.
- Serve: Serve the chicken and potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, for a creamy and savory meal.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling potatoes or cut regular potatoes into bite-size pieces.
- Feel free to add other seasonings like paprika or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked but juicy.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
