What You Need to Make Chicken and Potatoes

Chicken breasts: I use boneless, skinless chicken so that I can pound it out to an even thickness.Potatoes: You can use baby red or gold potatoes in this recipe! Make sure that when you cut them, that they end up as about the same size so that then they will all cook evenly.Salt and pepper: I like to use this to add additional flavoring to the chicken! Dried Italian dressing: 1 packet will be enough for this chicken. Butter: This is the ingredient that, when you melt the butter and put it on the chicken, will make the chicken moist and tender!Garlic: I cannot get enough of this flavor!

Let’s Bake Some Chicken!

Herb chicken and potatoes are a dish that everyone will love! It is so tender and delicious, you won’t be able to resist cooking this all the time!

Check the temperature: To make sure that your chicken isn’t pink and undercooked (or dry and overcooked!) then you NEED a meat thermometer! This completely takes any guesswork out and then you will know exactly when it’s done! Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches 165 degrees farenheit. Cook it in fat: This herb chicken and potatoes calls for you to cook this recipe in butter. When you cook chicken in fat, it allows the chicken to withstand high heat without burning! This keeps in all of the yummy moisture, making the meat so tender! Meat is best if you LET IT REST: Don’t skip this step! People think that it’s just wasted time but I promise you that it’s not! In fact, it’s probably the most important step to getting a moist and juicy chicken. Once you are done baking the chicken and take it out of the oven then leave it alone! Let it rest in the pan for about 5-10 minutes. That means no touching or cutting into it! This is absolutely important because it is the time when the chicken is locking all of that moisture inside! Cutting into it too soon will let that escape and make for some dry chicken.

Refrigerator: After your herb chicken and potatoes have cooled, place them in an airtight container. Then, place them in your fridge. They will last for 2-3 days in your refrigerator.Reheating: You can either eat the chicken cold, sliced and in a salad. Or you can reheat it and use it over some rice, with some vegetables or on its own! Take the chicken and potatoes out and place them on your counter. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and then put your chicken in a baking dish. Add in a few tablespoons of chicken broth or water to the bottom of the dish. Cover it with foil and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees farenheit.
