Italian Lemon Chicken

I tried something new tonight... It turned out fantastic!
I found a recipe on Pinterest for a lemon chicken that seemed good, but when I started making it, something seemed to be missing, so I started messing around with it.  As I finished it, I questioned it a little because I am not really a Lemon lover, my husband is and that is mostly why i wanted to make it, but when It was all done I found myself going up for seconds.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Lemons
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 4 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • A Packet of Good Seasons Italian Seasoning 
  • Parm Cheese Grated
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 14.5 can of french style cut green beans 
  • 2 cups of quartered small red potatoes



Directions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
  • Drizzle some Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the bottom of your pan (about 2 tablespoons give or take)
  • Slice one lemon and put it on the bottom of your pan 

  • Juice your other lemon and place in a mixing bowl
  • Mix together your lemon juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Italian Dressing packet and Salt and pepper to taste
  • Place the green beans on top of the lemons, then take your quartered potatoes and put them around the sides of pan.
  • Take the chicken and dip it into your mixture then put it in the middle of the pan
  • Drizzle the remainder of the mixture on top of everything

  • Sprinkle Parmesan Cheese over top of everything
  • Place in oven set at 400 for 1 hour (TIP: at the end of the hour, I placed the oven on broil for about 5 mins just to crisp the top because I like things crispier, so i definitely recommend that if you like things that way!) 
  • Enjoy! 



I really enjoyed this dish and so did my husband.  I hope you like it as much as we did!
