  7. preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced)
  8. In a bowl, mix half of the zaatar seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Set aside to marinate while preparing the potatoes.
  9. Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and allow to dry slightly.
  10. On a baking tray, toss the boiled potatoes with olive oil, remaining zaatar seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  11. Heat an oiled, grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked, with a golden, charred finish.
