Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the garlic-infused olive oil, chicken stock, grilling spice blend, garlic pepper seasoning, and fresh rosemary. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
2
Place a large oven-safe bag inside a baking dish. Add the sliced carrots, quartered potatoes, and smashed garlic cloves to the bag.
3
Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables inside the bag.
4
Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
5
Twist the bag closed and shake well to ensure the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated. Let marinate for 25-30 minutes.
6
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Tie the bag closed with the provided tie.
7
Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
8
Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Cut the bag open, allowing steam to escape away from you. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the juices from the bag.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat the chicken dry before placing in the bag—excess surface moisture can prevent browning and even steam cooking.
Smash the garlic cloves rather than mince them; they soften into the braising liquid and infuse flavor without burning.
Cut vegetables to uniform size so they roast evenly; quarter the potatoes and slice carrots to similar thickness.
Check internal temperature at the thickest part of the breast (not touching bone) to ensure doneness without overcooking.

Substitutions

Grilling spice blend → BBQ seasoning or Cajun spice (adjusts flavor profile but works equally well)
Fresh rosemary → 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (use half the amount; dried is more concentrated)
Chicken stock → vegetable stock or water with a pinch of salt (less savory but still steams the meat)
Garlic-infused olive oil → regular olive oil + 2 additional minced garlic cloves (adds freshness but less subtle garlic flavor)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 325°F oven (covered) or microwave to avoid drying out the chicken.

Common Questions

Why does oven bag cooking keep chicken breast moist?

The sealed bag traps steam, which prevents moisture loss during roasting. The liquid from the marinade and vegetables creates a humid cooking environment that keeps the meat tender.

What temperature and time do you roast the chicken at?

Roast at 375–400°F until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part (about 35–45 minutes, depending on breast size).

Can you make this ahead of time?

Yes—assemble the marinade and vegetables in the oven bag, seal, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before roasting. Add 5–10 minutes to cooking time if starting cold.

What if you don't have an oven bag?

Use parchment paper folded into a packet (en papillote) or a covered Dutch oven or roasting pan with foil. Cooking time may increase slightly without the sealed-bag steam effect.
