Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the halved potatoes with half the lemon-rosemary mixture on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.
Nestle chicken breasts among the potatoes and brush with the remaining lemon-rosemary mixture, coating both sides.
Roast in the oven for 22-25 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and potatoes are golden and tender.
Transfer chicken and potatoes to plates. Spoon any pan juices over the chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges if desired.
