Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 4 small chicken breasts around 6 oz each, boneless and skinless
  • 1 lb baby potatoes sliced into ¼-inch thick discs
  • Fresh parsley chopped, to garnish
  • Lemon wedges to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
  • To a small jar, add the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Shake well to emulsify.
  • To a medium bowl, add the chicken and ½ of the marinade. Mix well, then cover and let it marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Pour the remaining marinade over the potatoes and arrange it onto the prepared baking tray.
  • Add the chicken next to the potatoes and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through (165 F internal temperature).
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • do not overbake the chicken. it will dry out and get rubbery.
  • For crispier potatoes, slice them thinner
  • use fresh ingredients: lemon juice and garlic. 
  • you can use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts if you prefer.
