Food for Thought: Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Hello lovelies!

This has to be one of my all time favourite recipes. "Greek Style" Lemon chicken and potatoes are a staple in my household and is the perfect meal for anytime of the year! It's really easy, requires minimum prep and tastes delicious.

Let's get started! 

Ingredients: 

- Small bowl of mini golden potatoes
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Cup of Water
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons of Oregano
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste

Utensils: 

- Large caserole dish
- Cutting Board
- Small mixing bowl
- Knife to cut potatoes
- Knife to cut the chicken breasts
- Measuring cups
- Teaspoon

Step 1: 

Before starting, you can set your oven to 475 degrees celsius so it can preheat while you prep your ingredients.

To begin, start by washing your potatoes.

Once you wash them you can move them onto a cutting board and cut them into halves. This helps them cook more evenly and they are end up being more bite-sized.

Step 2: 

Next, take you four chicken breasts and cut off any excess fat, and cut each breast in half, so you end up with eight smaller pieces. This helps when distributing the portions when it is fully cooked.

Step 3: 

Put your chicken and potatoes into the large casserole dish, and spread them out evenly.

It should look something like this:

Step 4: 

Set aside your casserole dish and bring out your small mixing bowl. In this bowl, put your olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and salt. Stir well.

Next pour your mixture onto your chicken and potatoes. Make sure that they are evenly coated. Once you coat your chicken and potatoes, grind a pinch of fresh black pepper as the finishing touch!

Step 5: 

Bake in the oven covered for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Then remove the lid from your casserole dish and continue baking in oven for 10 min.

The final product should look like this:

I love to eat my lemon chicken and potatoes with a side salad. I just did a very simple vinaigrette that consisted of oil and vinegar, and I put some dried onion croutons to top it off!

This is honestly one of the most delicious dishes ever and is great for family get togethers, parties, and everyday dinners! This dish was inspired by the Three Greek Sisters! They make amazing food and you should definitely consider purchasing one of their cookbooks if you want to learn more about greek cooking.
