A skillet of Lemon Chicken with Roasted Potatoes

Lemon Chicken with Roasted Potatoes in panThis dish looked so appetizing in the magazine that I couldn’t wait to try it.  The recipe called for legs and thighs with the bone in. They were so tender and juicy. I tried a boneless chicken breast and didn’t cook it as long, but it just wasn’t near as moist and tender as the other pieces. The sauce was simple but flavorful. It was quick to put together, all the work was done in the oven.  The lemon juices penetrated the potatoes which were nice and crispy.  This would be great for guests as you can put it in the oven and forget about it. Sometimes a few simple ingredients are all you need.
