Baked Chicken & Potatoes with Herbs

I'm back! And wouldn't you know it would be with chicken? A pretty basic recipe tonight, but most tasty! I did the cheese biscuits a little differently than usual, and will likely stick with this recipe, as the difference was noticeable and, of course, tasty!

The lettuce and fresh herbs are from my garden.
