Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it nice and hot.
- In a large bowl, add the chicken breasts. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the buttery steakhouse seasoning, along with salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
- Halve the baby Yukon gold potatoes and add them to the bowl with the chicken. Toss everything together to coat the potatoes in the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a sheet pan—a little space between pieces allows them to roast beautifully.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs for a lovely finishing touch before serving.
Best ways to enjoy it

Storage and reheating tips
To keep your leftovers fresh, store any uneaten chicken and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If you plan to keep them longer, freezing is a good option—store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. When reheating, use the oven to maintain the texture; about 20 minutes at 350°F (175°C) should do the trick.
Helpful cooking tips
- Make sure to pat the chicken dry before seasoning for better adhesion.

- Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for added depth.
