Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

- Toss halved baby potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs until evenly coated.
- Arrange marinated chicken in the baking dish with the seasoned potatoes, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
