Lemon chicken with potatoes and peas is a delicious and healthy dish that brings together tender chicken, zesty lemon, hearty potatoes, and fresh peas for a well-rounded meal. It's perfect for weeknight dinners and will leave your taste buds satisfied.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dice the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes for consistent cooking.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lightly coat the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
- Add the diced potatoes around the chicken in the skillet.
- Pour the chicken gravy evenly over the chicken breasts and potatoes.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken for a fresh, zesty flavor.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender. You can stir the potatoes once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the oven.
- Stir in the peas and return the skillet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to heat the peas through.
- After removing the skillet from the oven, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top.
- Serve the lemon chicken warm, with the potatoes and peas on the side.
- Optionally, you can garnish with additional lemon zest or parsley for extra flavor and color.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly sized for even cooking.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor.
- For a creamier consistency, you can mix a little bit of heavy cream into the gravy.
- Make sure to pre-cook the potatoes slightly before adding them to the dish to ensure they are fully cooked through.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Add the peas towards the end of the cooking process to maintain their vibrant color and crispness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of freshness and color.
This lemon chicken with potatoes and peas recipe is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines the tanginess of lemon, the heartiness of chicken and potatoes, and the freshness of peas and parsley. It's a perfect meal for any occasion that is sure to impress your family and friends.
