This weekend I tackled the dreaded closet switch-over. The second I got started, I sort of wished I hadn’t. Until I found my navy & white vest from Stitch Fix earlier in the year. I cannot wait to wear it! Bring on all the fall things! Since I was in full on fall mode, it only seemed fitting to make roast chicken for dinner on Sunday. It’s the ideal cozy, comforting dinner to end a fall (ok, technically it was still summer) weekend. One problem, 6:00pm is not the ideal time to put a whole chicken in the oven.
Enter my quick fix, weeknight roast chicken solution….Crispy Roast Chicken Breasts loaded with garlic and herbs. Same cozy, comforting feeling as the whole bird. Same super crispy skin. AND, ready in 30 minutes, for the win.
Weeknight Garlic and Herb Crispy Roast Chicken Breasts
Ingredients
- 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, about 1/2 - 3/4 pound each
- 6 whole garlic cloves, peeled & smashed
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
- Salt
- Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pat each piece of chicken dry with a paper towel.
- Place 3 smashed garlic cloves and 3 sprigs of fresh thyme between the skin and meat of each piece of chicken. Adjust the skin so that it covers as much of the meat as possible.
- Brush up to 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each piece of chicken. Season each piece with 1/2 tablespoon dried tarragon, salt, and fresh ground pepper.
- Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, skin side up, and cook for approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and check the temperature using an instant-read thermometer. The chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees F. If necessary, cook the chicken for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Enjoy these delicious and easy-to-make roasted chicken breasts for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner option.
