Rosemary Lemon Chicken with Roasted Potatoes

Hello, my lovely friends!

 

      Rosemary Lemon Chicken with crispy garlicky potatoes is the perfect meal to make someone feel special. You can make this meal throughout the year, but it just feels like a spring or summer meal to me. If the aroma of lemon and rosemary don’t send your taste buds into a frenzy then roasted potatoes soaking up all that goodness will wake them up. For this recipe I’ll be using my Eurocast double roaster.

 

Rosemary Lemon Chicken with roasted potatoes

Chicken Things (4)

Rosemary – 2 sprigs, finely chopped

Lemon – ½ cup freshly squeezed

Whole Grain Mustard- 2 TBSP.

Garlic – 5 cloves, finely chopped

Salt – couple of pinches

Pepper - couple of small pinches

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – ½ cup

 

Mushroom – 1 ½ cups, sliced

Potatoes – 3, peeled and sliced thick half moons

 

Preparing two hours before

In a bowl add the lemon, olive oil, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up and take out about ½ cup to mix it with the potatoes and mushrooms. Add the chicken to the bowl and mix it all up, cover it in plastic wrap and let it hangout in the fridge for an hour and up to twenty four hours.

 

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375

 

In the roaster I added 1 TBSP. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and place all the potatoes down first. I then put the chicken down and then place the mushrooms all around. Let that cook in the oven for between 50 to 60 minutes. Let it rest for about five minutes before serving.

 

Thoughts on this recipe

        This is a meal that I love to plate and look pretty because it’s a special meal. Many, many years ago my mom started buying pretty platters, but would only use them a couple times in the year when they were having big family dinners. I started watching Lidia on PBS and all the beautiful dishes she uses when plating her food. My parents would come home from work and dinner would be displayed on the platters. It’s all about making things a little special.

 

    This is a wonderful meal. I've made this meal so many times and it's always delicious, especially if you love lemons like me. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.

Until next time… Adios!
