In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried marjoram, thyme, salt, and pepper. 6. Rub the chicken breast with the herb mixture and place it on a baking tray. 7. Roast chicken in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear. 8. Serve the herb-roasted chicken on a plate with the crispy potato rösti.
