Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • For the Caramelized Onion Herb Gravy:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, for quicker caramelization)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, half the thyme and rosemary. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. Rub chicken breasts with remaining olive oil, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place on the other side of the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and potatoes are golden and tender. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. While roasting, prepare the gravy. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until deep golden brown (add sugar if desired to speed up).
  6. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute more to form a roux.
  7. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  8. Slice the rested chicken breasts and serve with roasted potatoes and a generous spoonful of onion herb gravy. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can marinate the chicken ahead for extra flavor.
  • Use red or Yukon gold baby potatoes for best texture and flavor.
  • The gravy can be made in advance and reheated gently before serving.
