Instructions

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs for juicier meat or adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • Swap in other herbs like thyme or rosemary for a different flavor.
  • If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.

 

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
