Garlic and Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and Red Potatoes!


Ok I'll be honest... This recipe was really really good EXCEPT that I could hardly eat the green beans because they soaked up so much lemon! My suggestion is this... Instead of using one on the bottom and one juiced, use half of one on the bottom and make more of the juice because you dip the green beans and potatoes in it anyway!! But other than that I'd say you need to try this! Very quick and easy!! 



All You Need:

6 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced (See suggestion above!)
4 Garlic Cloved, Minced
1 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Pepper
3/4 Lb Trimmed Green Beans (I used a drained can)
8 Small Red Potatoes
4 Chicken breasts (I used boneless, skinless; about 3 1/4 lb with bone in!)



Preheat oven to 450°F. 


Coat a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon of 

the olive oil.

 

Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in 

the bottom of the dish.


In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, 

lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; 

add the green beans and toss to coat. 


Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the 

green beans and arrange them on top of the 

lemon slices. 


Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil mixture 

and toss to coat.

 

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, arrange the 

potatoes along the inside edge of the dish on 

top of the green beans. 


Place the chicken in the same bowl with the 

olive-oil mixture and coat thoroughly. 


Place the chicken in the dish and pour any of 

the remaining olive-oil mixture over the 

chicken.


*I also used a little lemon pepper on my 
chicken bc I did not have a lot of the mixture 
left!*

Roast for 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from 
the dish. 
Place the beans and potatoes back in oven for 
10 minutes more or until the potatoes are 
tender. 


Now this is the recipe I got from Pinterest... 
I put my chicken in the sink to thaw while I 
mixed up the rest. It was not completely done 
so I put the potatoes and green beans in the 
oven for about 20 minutes then added my 
chicken and it was all cooked completely at 
 the 60 minute mark!! Enjoy!
