Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 lemons 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
- 4 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 lb green beans trimmed
- 8 small red potatoes quartered
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that your dish cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Coat a large baking dish with 1 tbsp of olive oil. This helps prevent sticking and adds flavor right from the start.
- On the bottom of your dish, arrange the thinly sliced lemons in a single layer. This creates a beautiful base and infuses the chicken with lemony goodness as it cooks.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until well combined.
- Now, one by one, coat the green beans, red potatoes, and chicken breasts in the oil mixture. Start with the green beans, tossing them gently to ensure they’re well coated.
- Using tongs, carefully remove the coated green beans and place them on top of the arranged lemons in your baking dish.
- Next, add the red potatoes to the oil mixture and toss them to coat. They should be generously coated to soak up all that flavor.
- Using your tongs again, arrange the coated potatoes over the green beans, placing them along the inner edge of the dish.
- Finally, coat the chicken breasts in the oil mixture and place them in the dish on top of the veggies. Pour any remaining oil mixture over the chicken for added flavor.
- Cook in the preheated oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and veggies are tender, and the chicken is cooked through. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
- Once cooked, serve warm and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors in your Lemon Chicken with Veggies.
Notes
- If you prefer less of a lemon flavor: Just use one lemon and cut it in half. Juice one half, and thinly slice the other. Use according to directions.
