Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 lemons (1 juiced, 1 cut into 4 wedges)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 shallots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
8 sprigs thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
  • Divide the potatoes and any juices among the foil sheets, mounding them in the middle. Top evenly with the shallots, thyme and lemon wedges. Top each mound with a chicken breast. Brush the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal, then fold in the sides.
  • Grill the foil packets seam-side up, 8 minutes. Flip the foil packet, gently press down and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 6 more minutes.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a grill. Do you think I could make it in the oven?

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. My family loves the lemony flavor of the chicken and the crispy potatoes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a disaster. The chicken was burnt and the potatoes were mushy.

This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the potatoes were undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't cook through. I had to put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the potatoes were good.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's easy to put together and doesn't require a lot of babysitting.

I'm not a huge fan of fingerling potatoes, but they were really good in this dish. They roasted up crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The lemon and herb marinade really infused the chicken with flavor. I also liked that the potatoes cooked right along with the chicken, making it a one-pan meal.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the potatoes were perfectly roasted. I will definitely be making this again.
