One-Pan Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

One-pan lemon chicken and potatoes is a full dinner with minimal cleanup. The potatoes start first, then the chicken finishes in the same pan with lemon and pan juices.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 lemons, one sliced and one juiced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
  4. Add chicken and lemon slices to the pan.
  5. Roast until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  6. Finish with fresh lemon juice before serving.

Notes

Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts here, but breasts work if you shorten the roasting time.
