Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cumin seeds, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

6
Remove the baking dish from the oven, push the potatoes to the sides and arrange the chicken breasts in the middle.
7
Season the chicken with salt and drizzle with the garlic mixture.
8
Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven; transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice.

Add the cilantro to the baking dish and toss with the potatoes.
