This recipe balances traditional cooking techniques with a touch of creativity, making it perfect for a family dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound chicken breast strips
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
5. While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
7. Serve the herb-crusted chicken strips alongside the garlic roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
