Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme, divided

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon regular salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise, or tiny new red or white potatoes, halved

  • 4 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1 1/4 pounds total)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. In a very large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Stir 1/2 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper into the oil. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Cover and cook for 12 minutes, stirring twice.

  2. Stir potatoes; push to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Arrange chicken breast halves on the other side of the skillet. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

  3. Turn chicken. Spread garlic over chicken breast halves; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Arrange lemon slices on top of chicken. Cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F) and potatoes are tender.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
