Lemon chicken with potatoes and peas

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:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1.50 lb chicken breasts
680g
1.50 cups chicken gravy
300g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
4 potatoes
800g
1/2 cup peas
60g
1/2 cup fresh parsley
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dice the potatoes into small, even-sized cubes for consistent cooking.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- 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.
3. Add the Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Bake in Oven:
- 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.
5. Add Peas and Finish 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.
6. Garnish:
- After removing the skillet from the oven, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top.
7. Serve:
- 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.
