Zesty Orange Juice Chicken with Crispy Roasted Potatoes

Zesty Orange Juice Chicken Paired with Crispy Roasted Potatoes made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Sear the chicken breasts in the hot skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer them to the baking sheet with the potatoes.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast everything together for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are crispy.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
