Method
Preparing the Chicken
Season the Chicken
Pat the airline chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme.
Sear the Chicken
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Roast the Chicken
Flip the chicken breasts and transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oven and let rest.
Roasting the Potatoes
Prepare the Potatoes
While the chicken is roasting, wash and halve the baby potatoes. In a bowl, toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Roast the Potatoes
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the same oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Cooking the Vegetables
Sauté the Vegetables
In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the prepared vegetables and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Making the Chicken Jus
Prepare the Jus
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce by half until slightly thickened.
Finish the Jus
Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.
Serving the Dish
Plate the Dish
On each plate, serve the roasted airline chicken breasts alongside the crispy roasted potatoes and sautéed seasonal vegetables. Drizzle with the chicken jus before serving.
