Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe utilizes the hasselback technique for potatoes, which originated in Sweden at the Hasselbacken restaurant in the 1700s. It's a great way to increase surface area for maximum crispiness!
Ingredients You'll Need
2 boneless chicken fillets
2 large potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Chopped chives for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Slice each potato into thin rounds, being careful not to cut all the way through, about 1/8 inch thick. This technique is known as making 'hasselback' potatoes.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them, ensuring it seeps into the cuts you've made. Season with salt, pepper, half the rosemary, and half the thyme.
Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, and some salt and pepper.
Rub the mixture onto both sides of the chicken fillet evenly. Set aside.
After the potatoes have baked for 30 minutes, gently remove the tray from the oven and carefully nestle the chicken fillets beside the potatoes.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and chicken. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Check for doneness: chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork.
Serve hot, garnished with lemon juice, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped chives for a burst of flavor.
