Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs and halved baby potatoes.

      Season the Mixture: Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Drizzle in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss everything together until the chicken and potatoes are well coated in the seasoning.

        Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the seasoned chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Make sure the chicken thighs are skin-side up.

          Add Cherry Tomatoes: Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the chicken and potatoes for added flavor and a pop of color.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet or roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

                Enjoy Your Meal: Serve warm, either on its own or with a side of fresh greens, and enjoy your Italian Chicken & Potatoes Delight!
