Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Cheese and Seasoning
- 4 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken and potatoes.
- Prepare potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes, then toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for even seasoning.
- Season chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub them with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance flavor and retain moisture.
- Arrange in baking dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and arrange the seasoned baby potatoes evenly around the chicken.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
- Add Boursin cheese: Remove the dish from the oven and dollop the Boursin cheese evenly over each chicken breast while still hot, allowing the cheese to soften and melt slightly.
- Serve: Serve immediately for a creamy, flavorful dish with tender chicken and roasted baby potatoes.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Baby potatoes can be replaced with fingerling potatoes or small red potatoes if preferred.
- For added color, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
