  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then rub the herb mixture all over the chicken.
  4. Bake the seasoned chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Mashed Potatoes

  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes, then mash them with butter and milk until smooth.
Glazed Carrots
