Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1/3 cup chicken gravy
63g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1/3 cup orange juice
72g
3 potatoes
600g
1 onion
160g
8 chicken thighs
800g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1 orange
150g
1 lemon
110g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/2 cup green beans
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, minced ginger, chicken gravy, lemon juice, and orange juice. Set aside.
3. Season the Chicken Thighs: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Assemble the Bake:
- In a large ovenproof baking dish or sheet pan, arrange the thinly sliced potatoes and onions in an even layer.
- Evenly distribute the sliced orange and lemon over the potatoes and onions.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
5. Add the Marinade: Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is well coated.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the entire dish for added flavor and crispiness.
7. Bake in the Oven: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
8. Add the Green Beans: Remove the dish from the oven, scatter the green beans over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
9. Serve: Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan lemon and chicken potato bake!

Tips:

- For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the lemon juice, orange juice, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots if you'd like more variety.

- Ensure the chicken thighs are spread out evenly in the pan to ensure even cooking and browning.

- You can use bone-in or boneless chicken thighs according to your preference, but bone-in will add more flavor.

- Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken thighs reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.

This one-pan lemon and chicken potato bake is a fantastic go-to recipe for a flavorsome and convenient meal. Utilizing just one pan not only highlights the harmonious blend of citrus and savory notes but also makes cleanup a breeze. These easy tips will help you perfect this dish every time, ensuring a delightful dining experience for you and your guests.
