Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Place potatoes into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in microwave oven on High setting for 2 minutes; turn potatoes over (watch for steam) and cook 2 more minutes on High. Set potatoes aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Mix together the Alfredo sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic in a bowl. Place the chicken pieces into the prepared baking dish, and generously brush chicken with about 1 cup of the mixture. Arrange the potatoes, tomatoes, and whole garlic cloves around the chicken. Brush the vegetables with the remaining sauce mixture. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with rosemary and olives. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (25 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the Alfredo sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors and stay moist.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. Bell peppers, zucchini, or artichoke hearts would all be delicious additions.
If you don't have fresh rosemary on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead. Just be sure to crush it slightly before adding it to the dish to release its flavor.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
