Garlic and Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes!

Garlic and Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes!

This is one of those easy baked meals that you just assemble and forget about until it's dinner time! Everything bakes in one pan! Lots of flavor with little effort...my favorite kind of recipe! This recipe was posted on my Facebook wall by my friend Chip Stanley! I loved this recipe but thought the lemon was a little strong, so I'm writing it the way I would make it, using half the amount of lemon!

Garlic and Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes

INGREDIENTS:
6 Tbls. olive oil
1 lemon -thinly slice half and juice the other half
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3/4 lb. green beans, trimmed
6 small red potatoes, quartered
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Coat a large baking dish or oven safe skillet with 1 Tbls. olive oil.
Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer
at the bottom of the baking dish or skillet.
In a large bowl combine the remaining olive oil,
lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
Then add the green beans and toss to coat.
Using a slotted spoon remove the green beans
 and arrange them around the edge of the baking dish or skillet.
 Add the potatoes to the same oil and toss to coat,
 then remove with a slotted spoon and arrange the potatoes
 ontop of the green beans around the edge.
Place the chicken in the same bowl with the oil and coat the chicken.
Remove and place the chicken ontop of the lemon slices skin side up.
Pour any remaining oil ontop of the chicken.
Roast uncovered for 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and continue to roast for 10 minutes more or until potatoes are tender. Place a chicken breast on each of 4 serving plates and divide the potatoes and green beans equally.
Serve warm.

    1. It could be done with boneless skinless chicken but it won't be as flavorful. The bones and skin really give it lots of flavor. If you try it please let me know! Thanks! =D
