Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a baking dish, ensuring the bottom is lightly coated. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the bottom of the dish. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a small bowl, combine the minced parsley and garlic. Set aside. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Season the underside of the chicken breasts generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently loosen the skin of each chicken breast and carefully push the parsley-garlic mixture underneath, distributing it evenly. (8 minutes)

05

Step

Place the chicken breasts on top of the potato slices in the baking dish. Arrange the red onion wedges around the chicken. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar evenly over the chicken and vegetables. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 30-35 minutes. If the chicken skin begins to brown too quickly, tent the dish loosely with foil.

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken with balsamic vinegar and seasonings for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Consider adding other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for a more substantial dish.
A splash of dry white wine added to the baking dish before cooking will enhance the flavors.
Rest the chicken for 5-10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute for a more tender result.

    I used baby potatoes halved and it cut down the prep time a lot.

  • Elda Gusikowski

    Next time, I'll try marinating the chicken in the balsamic mixture for a few hours before baking.
