Ingredients

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts OR 4-6 medium-large boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3-4 cups chopped red and/or gold potatoes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 lemon + juice from two additional lemons (3 lemons total)
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • fresh herbs for garnish, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking dish.
  2. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange chicken and chopped potatoes on baking dish. Thinly slice one lemon and slide lemon slices between some of the potatoes and chicken.
  3. Whisk together melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice (from remaining two lemons), and butter. Drizzle mixture over chicken and potatoes.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are fork-tender. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Optional additional step: the last five minutes or so in the oven, you can switch the oven to broil to brown the tops of the chicken a little more. Tastes the same but adds beautiful color!
