  2. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and fork-tender.

Notes

For a cozier presentation, serve directly from the baking dish. You can add a side salad or crusty bread for a more filling meal. For variations, consider adding lemon zest or using chicken thighs.
