Lemon Garlic Chicken

Here’s a fun and yummy recipe for a Monday!  I made this lemon garlic chicken and potatoes last night, and it was a hit.

Ingredients:

4-6 skinless boneless chicken breats                            3 c diced potatoes (I used Russett)

Juice and zest from 1-2 lemons                                    1 Tbsp oregano or Italian seasoning

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped                                     1/4 c olive oil + 1 Tbsp

3/4 c water                                                                  salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to350°.  Heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet.  Season chicken with salt and pepper.  Sear chicken in skillet, transfer to baking dish.  Add potatoes to skillet, season, cook about 10 minutes, coating with olive oil.  Transfer potatoes to baking dish with chicken.  Combine lemon juice, zest, oregano, 1/4 c olive oil, water, garlic, salt, and pepper in bowl.  Pour over chicken and potatoes.  Bake uncovered about 30 minutes.

I paired this with something I call a country salad.  It’s fresh greens from our garden mixed with a chopped hard boiled egg, cooked corn kernels, and shredded carrots.  This recipe goes beautifully with any salad or veggie side dish.

Enjoy!
