Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Prepare the Vegetables: Toss halved baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on one side of the baking sheet.
Assemble the Sheet Pan: After marinating, place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet next to the potatoes. Add cherry tomatoes to the other side of the sheet.
Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Variations: Add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor. For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
