In the A.M. combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rinse breasts and pat dry. Press the herb mixture into the chicken and then transport to a sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours.
Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Lightly grease a pan with your choice of oil.
Marinate the potatoes
Toss potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl and coat sufficiently.
Place the potatoes in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan with the potatoes. Add lemons around chicken and potatoes and drizzle some juice on top if you like. Roast for 30-45 minutes longer, or until the breasts reach 160˚F.
Remove from oven
Once removed from the oven, cover the chicken and potatoes loosely with foil. Let your food rest for 5 to 10 min before eating. Feel free to add some roasted veggies as another side as well!
