How to Make Herb and Garlic Chicken with Roast Potatoes and Sautéed Mushrooms
Step 1: Season and Roast
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potatoes with olive oil, half of the garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet. Season chicken with remaining garlic, salt, and pepper and place alongside the potatoes. Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning potatoes once, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden.
Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms
While chicken and potatoes roast, heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and tender. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Serve
Remove chicken and potatoes from the oven. Serve hot with sautéed mushrooms spooned over or alongside.
