Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Wash the russet potatoes, peel if desired, and cut them into 1‑inch cubes.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1.5 tsp oregano, 1.5 tsp black pepper, and 3 tsp olive oil until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets and roast for 25‑30 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through for even crispness.

  5. 5

    While the potatoes roast, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and cut them into bite‑size pieces.

  6. 6

    In a separate bowl, combine 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 3 tsp olive oil, the melted butter, the minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, and the lemon juice.

  7. 7

    Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss thoroughly so each bite is well coated; let the chicken marinate for about 5 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken pieces are coated on all sides.

  8. 8

    Arrange the seasoned chicken bites on the second prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

  9. 9

    Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15‑18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 167°F (165°F) and the edges are lightly browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken is cooked through and lightly browned at the edges.

  10. 10

    Remove both the potatoes and chicken from the oven; let them rest on the sheets for 5 minutes to finish cooking and retain juices.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken juices settle during the rest.

  11. 11

    Transfer the garlic butter chicken bites and crispy potatoes to a serving platter, arranging them side by side.

  12. 12

    Garnish with a sprinkle of extra chopped parsley and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice, if desired, and serve warm.
