How to Make Low Fat Garlic Herb Butter Sauce
This recipe was inspired by Garlic Herb Butter Roasted Chicken.
However, this time we wanted to achieve that buttery taste and reduce the calories. We added the chicken stock and it did the trick! A delicious classic buttery sauce with half the fat!
How to Make Sheet Pan Garlic Herb Butter Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 400° F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking oil spray or line it with parchment paper. Keep aside.
- In a small bowl combine together the chicken stock, parsley, butter and rosemary.
- Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and arrange the potatoes on one side around the chicken. Top the potatoes with rosemary sprigs.
- Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Optionally spray everything with oil spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and arrange the green beans/asparagus around the chicken on the other side. You can flip the chicken breasts if desired. Pour the remaining sauce over the green beans and season with salt and pepper. Bake further until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- For charred edges and crispy potatoes, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
Substitutions
You can swap out the veggies and herbs. If you don’t like rosemary, use oregano or marjoram or whatever you have on hand.
We added green beans, but asparagus, zucchini, snow peas or eggplant will work too. Make sure to season them with salt and pepper to your linking and toss through the sauce.
I am sure your family will love these juicy garlic herb butter chicken breasts and crispy veggies.
