Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 4 pieces 6 oz boneless (skinless) chicken breasts Juicy and flavorful, serving as a hearty centerpiece for the dish.
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Divided into portions for seasoning and roasting.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Divided for seasoning.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Divided for seasoning.
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary Divided for seasoning.
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar Brightens the flavors.
  • 2 oz goat cheese Crumpled on top before serving.
For the vegetables
  • 5-6 pieces small red potatoes Cut into 1-inch pieces; they become golden and crispy.
  • 1 large apple Thinly sliced; adds a delightful contrast.
  • 1 small sweet onion Thinly sliced; caramelizes slightly during roasting.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Start by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Season the chicken breasts using 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the kosher salt, and half of the black pepper. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of chopped rosemary. Place the chicken on one of the baking sheets.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced onion, apple, and potato pieces with the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Ensure they are evenly coated and arrange this mixture on the second baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Roast both pans in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes and apples are tender and golden.
Finishing Touch
  1. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the chicken and sprinkle crumbled goat cheese on top. Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve the chicken alongside the apples, potatoes, and onions, and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate the chicken for better flavor, add other vegetables if desired, and experiment with different apple varieties.
