**Chicken Breast And Fries**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 large russet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Start by preparing the potatoes. Scrub them clean and peel if desired. Cut the potatoes into even-sized sticks to create fries. It’s best to aim for about ½ inch thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the fries are evenly coated with the seasonings.
4. Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to allow for even crisping. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they are golden and crispy.
5. While the fries are baking, prepare the chicken breasts. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
7. Once the chicken is fully cooked and the fries are crispy, it’s time to assemble your meal. Serve the chicken breasts alongside a generous helping of the delicious fries on each plate.
8. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Feel free to serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a simple side salad for a well-rounded meal.
