Ingredients
- 2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, quartered
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (optional)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 lemon (1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Directions
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cumin seeds, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Spread in a large baking dish and roast until the potatoes begin to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven, push the potatoes to the sides and arrange the chicken breasts in the middle. Season the chicken with salt and drizzle with the garlic mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice. Add the cilantro to the baking dish and toss with the potatoes. Serve the chicken with the potatoes and lemon wedges. Drizzle with the pan juices.

Easy tasty dish! I'll be making it again. I used chicken tenders,no cumin seed (allergy and extra garlic. I seasoned heavily and added some extra seasonings to make up for not using cumin. Because I didn't have red potatoes I used russet. Next time I'll use red potatoes some scallions, and extra red pepper flakes. I used a 13 x 9 pan - it was barely large enough! The fresh lemon is a must.

I made this for dinner the night my 11 year old daughter had a sleep over with 3 other friends and they all loved it. The chicken was tender and had good flavor to please my husband also!

Made this last night but cut everything down for one person - I live alone. I used my NuWave infrared oven. It only took about 30 minutes of the whole meal and boy was it ever good. I cut my large chicken breast in half; and will have the second half of the chicken and the remainder of the drippings tomorrow with some leftover rice.
Really good and easy.
