Ingredients
Scale:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: A sprig of fresh rosemary for additional aroma and flavor
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional: A pinch of sugar to balance the flavors
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, half of the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well-coated.
Arrange the seasoned potatoes on one side of the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and the remaining ranch seasoning mix. Place the chicken on the other side of the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
While the chicken and potatoes are baking, prepare the creamy ranch sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, additional ranch dressing mix, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once the chicken and potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with the creamy ranch sauce.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
