How To Make One Pan Roasted Honey Orange Chicken and Potatoes

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). While it heats up, take your chicken breasts and generously season them with salt and pepper.
2. Next, take your roasting pan and plonk your spuds and chicken in there. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle some minced garlic over the top. Now, let’s get to the juicy part. Grate some orange zest evenly over everything in the pan.
3. Then, squeeze the juice from the oranges and mix it with honey in a bowl. Pour this sweet and tangy concoction over the chicken and potatoes. Now pop it into the oven! *
4. After the initial 15 minutes, baste the chicken and potatoes with the dripping sauce and roast for a further 30 min. To check if it’s done, strike a knife, and the juices should run clear.
