Collect ingredients:
- Olive oil
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- salt, pepper to taste

- small red potatoes cut in half
- Thyme, Rosemary and Ground jalapeño powder
- 1 lemon sliced into thin pieces (seeds removed)
- 1 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind

- 3/4 cups chicken broth
- parsley
STEP 1– Preheat oven to 425
STEP 2-Heat large, ovenproof skillet on stove top. Add oil. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper-add to pan. Fry 5 minutes on one side, flip and cook 2 minutes on other.
STEP 3– Remove chicken and put on plate, cover with foil. Place carrots and potatoes in pan, sprinkle with thyme and rosemary. Put in oven- bake for 10 minutes.
STEP 4– Remove pan from the oven, Place chicken in pan on top of carrots and potatoes with lemon slices on top of meat-bake for 12 minutes.
